For three decades, the Perth Mint Lunar Series has set the global standard for craftsmanship, collectability, and enduring demand.

The 2026 1/10 oz Year of the Horse Platinum Coin is the inaugural 1/10 oz platinum release in the renowned Lunar Series, offering collectors a rare opportunity to own a landmark addition to one of the world's most prestigious coin programs.
Building on the strong reception of the series' first 1 oz platinum coin, which released in 2020, this latest innovation offers collectors a more accessible way to own platinum within the renowned Lunar Series. Its compact 1/10 oz size also makes it an affordable starting point for collectors and investors to add platinum to their portfolios while laying the foundation for a complete Lunar Series collection. With a strictly limited mintage of just 15,000 coins worldwide, the 2026 1/10 oz Year of the Horse Platinum Coin is poised to be one of the most desirable releases in the series, available exclusively at SD Bullion.

The Design
The reverse showcases a detailed depiction of a horse, symbolizing the seventh animal of the Chinese Zodiac. The horse is traditionally associated with strength, determination, intelligence, and freedom. Those born under the Year of the Horse are believed to possess energetic personalities, strong leadership qualities, and an adventurous spirit. These enduring characteristics make horse-themed Lunar releases especially desirable among collectors and gift buyers alike. The design captures the grace, power, and vitality associated with the horse while incorporating the Chinese character for "Horse" and inscriptions identifying the release as part of the Lunar Series III program.
The obverse features the effigy of King Charles III, along with the coin's denomination, weight, purity, and country of issue.
The Perth Mint Lunar Series III
The Perth Mint Lunar Series is one of the most successful and widely collected bullion programs in the world. Each annual release celebrates a different animal from the Chinese Zodiac, creating a complete twelve-year collection that appeals to both investors and numismatists.
The Lunar Series III continues this tradition with updated artwork, limited mintages across select formats, and the exceptional minting quality for which The Perth Mint is renowned. Platinum Lunar releases are especially sought after due to their lower mintages and relative scarcity compared to gold and silver counterparts.
