2026 1/2 oz Colorized Silver Lunar Horse BU Perth Mint
Gallop into the Year of the Horse with the beautifully crafted 2026 1/2 oz Colorized Silver Lunar Horse Coin, struck by the world-renowned Perth Mint in .9999 fine silver. This Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) release celebrates the seventh animal in the Chinese Zodiac, combining cultural legend, artistic beauty, and exceptional minting precision. The coin’s colorized design brings to life the strength, elegance, and free spirit of the noble horse — a symbol of determination, energy, and independence.
According to ancient Chinese lore, the Jade Emperor held a grand race to determine the order of the 12 zodiac animals. The powerful and ambitious horse galloped with unstoppable speed, closing in on the fifth-placed dragon. But just as victory seemed near, a cunning snake hidden around the horse’s hoof startled it, causing a brief stumble — yet the resilient horse recovered and claimed seventh place in the celestial race.
