The Perth Mint – A Legacy of Craftsmanship Since 1899

Founded in 1899 as a branch of the historic British Royal Mint, the Perth Mint stands today as one of the most respected precious metal refineries and mints in the world. Located in Western Australia, it has produced coinage for over a century, supplying gold sovereigns throughout the British Empire and later evolving into a leader in bullion innovation.

Renowned for its exceptional purity, intricate designs, and limited mintages, the Perth Mint continues to honor global traditions through its celebrated Lunar Series, which draws inspiration from the ancient Chinese zodiac cycle. The 2026 Gold Horse continues this proud lineage — combining cultural storytelling with world-class minting excellence.

Symbolism of the Horse

In Chinese tradition, the Horse represents energy, ambition, and unbridled freedom. As the seventh sign in the lunar cycle, it holds a special place in the zodiac’s legendary race. According to myth, the horse nearly finished first, galloping with incredible speed, but was overtaken at the final moment by the cunning snake — a tale that reflects both the horse’s vigor and its noble spirit.
