The 2026 1oz Gold Australian Lunar Series III Bullion Coin is struck by The Perth Mint as a bullion issue with 1oz of .9999 fine metal content. It forms part of the Gold - Australian Lunar - Series III range, a recognised bullion series collected by date, design and condition.
The obverse features King Charles III (Dan Thorne effigy), while the reverse carries Year of the Horse lunar design with Perth Mint P mintmark. This pairing gives the 2026 issue its own place within the wider run and helps distinguish it from neighbouring dates.
Annual bullion issues like this are valued for their precious-metal content as well as their role in complete date runs. Condition, availability and demand for the wider series can all influence collector interest over time.
