The Perth Mint – Excellence Forged Through Time

For over 125 years, the Perth Mint has been a global leader in precious metal craftsmanship. Established in 1899 as part of the Royal Mint’s expansion during the height of the Australian gold rush, it played a vital role in transforming raw gold from Western Australia’s mines into sovereign coinage circulated throughout the British Empire.

Today, the Perth Mint stands as a world-renowned producer of bullion coins celebrated for their purity, artistry, and limited mintages. The Lunar Series III, inspired by the ancient Chinese Zodiac, continues this legacy—blending cultural symbolism with state-of-the-art minting technology to create coins cherished across continents.

The Symbolism of the Horse

The Horse, the seventh sign in the 12-year Chinese zodiac cycle, embodies ambition, vitality, and independence. According to Chinese legend, the horse earned its place in the zodiac after galloping with unmatched speed during the Jade Emperor’s celestial race—only to be surpassed at the last moment by the cunning snake. Despite finishing seventh, the horse’s courage and endurance became a lasting symbol of perseverance and freedom.
