Why this coin is a genuine collector's piece

The combination of strict limited mintage, elaborate colourisation and the popular Lunar theme makes this minted piece an absolute highlight. While regular bullion coins are produced in mintages of millions, only 2,500 examples of this colourised variant were made. For collectors of the Lunar Series III, this issue is practically indispensable.

Silver has proven itself as a store of value over millennia. The limited availability of the precious metal, combined with rising industrial demand in sectors such as electronics, solar technology and medicine, underlines the long-term significance of this commodity. Profits from the sale of silver are generally tax-free after a holding period of at least one year – a further advantage for forward-thinking investors.

Who is this coin particularly suited for?

This exclusive collector's coin is aimed at enthusiasts who seek the extraordinary. Whether as an addition to an existing Lunar collection, as an exceptional gift or as a long-term investment – the 5 oz Silver Lunar III Horse 2026 meets the highest standards.
