Australia 60th Anniversary of Decimal Currency 2026 $1 C Mintmark Silver Proof Coin

Australia 60th Anniversary of Decimal Currency 2026 $1 C Mintmark Silver Proof Coin

60th anniversary of decimal currency – in 99.9% silver!

Official, eye-catching and exclusive, this 99.9% silver Australian legal tender coin from the Royal Australian Mint forms a sensational celebration of the 60th anniversary of decimal currency in Australia.

Joining a worldwide trend, Australia’s original currency system of pounds, shillings and pence was replaced by decimal currency on the 14th of February 1966. Bearing designs by numismatic master craftsman Stuart Devlin, Australia’s new decimal coinage featured Australian native animals. The highest denomination coin at decimalisation, the 50c, depicted the kangaroo & emu, with the platypus (20c), lyrebird (10c), echidna (5c), frilled-neck lizard (2c) and feathertail glider (1c) also honoured. Devlin’s quintessentially Australian designs are still cherished, even 60 years after they were unveiled.

An inspired tribute to a truly momentous milestone in Australian currency history, the design of this 99.9% silver Proof features elements taken from all of Australia’s original decimal coins! All of Stuart Devlin’s Aussie animal motifs are united in one design! As exclusive as it is eye-catching, the limited edition of this official decimal currency 60th anniversary tribute has been set at a mere 5,000.

With the mintage of this brilliantly designed coin so low, we must – in the interests of fairness – apply a strict limit of one coin per household. Immediate action is essential. Click add to cart now!
