Australia’s vast and rugged outback is a land of awe-inspiring natural beauty, steeped in rich history and cultural
significance. The continent spans a staggering 7.68 million square kilometres, an area comprising deep canyons,
arid desert, lush rainforests, and stunning coastlines. Australia is home to between 600,000 and 700,000 species
of wildlife, many of which are found only in Australia, making the Australian outback one of the world’s most
precious natural treasures.

Celebrating Australia’s wondrous wildlife species, the coin features a vibrant montage of outback landscape. The
design showcases iconic native species including emus, eagles, a dingo, kangaroos, and a frilled-neck lizard, set
amidst characteristic flora. The scene is enriched with elements of the rugged terrain—a tranquil watering hole,
striking sandstone formations, and a radiant rising sun. Completing the composition are The Perth Mint’s
signature ‘P’ mintmark and the 2026 year-date.

The coin’s obverse bears the Dan Thorne effigy of His Majesty King Charles III as well as the coin’s weight, purity
and monetary denomination, encircled by a rich display of corals and flora.
