Exclusive, eye-catching and distinctively Australian, the Decimal Currency 60^th Anniversary 2026 $1 Gold-plated 1oz Silver Proof Coin celebrates one of the most significant events in Australian history!

Australia’s original currency system of pounds, shillings and pence was replaced by decimal currency on the 14^th of February 1966. Designed by numismatic master craftsman Stuart Devlin, Australia’s new decimal coinage paid homage to Australian native animals. The kangaroo & emu were found on the 50c, with the platypus (20c), lyrebird (10c), echidna (5c), frilled-neck lizard (2c) and feathertail glider (1c) also honoured. Uniquely Australian, Devlin’s designs are still cherished, even six decades after the nation’s embrace of decimalisation.

Uniting all seven of the animals found on our original decimal coins, the Decimal Currency 60^th Anniversary 2026 $1 Gold-plated 1oz Silver Proof is an entirely fitting celebration of Australia’s currency heritage. A stunning synthesis of the world’s most cherished precious metals, each coin is struck to the peak of Proof quality from 1oz of 99.9% silver, and finished in 24-carat gold.

A strictly limited edition, this official legal tender issue has a mintage of just 1,250.
