The Perth Mint proudly presents this 2026 1oz Silver Proof Coin, part of the new Wonders of Australia series celebrating the country's most iconic landscapes and wildlife. This release turns its focus to the Outback — Australia's vast, untamed interior spanning 7.68 million square kilometers of canyons, deserts, rainforests, and coastline, home to hundreds of thousands of wildlife species found nowhere else on Earth.

The coin's reverse brings this rugged wilderness to life in a single dynamic scene. A dingo perches on a rocky outcrop, two emus linger by a riverbed with one pausing to drink, a snake coils nearby, and a crocodile emerges from the water below. Overhead, a wedge-tailed eagle soars while three kangaroos bound across the terrain, all set against a mountainous backdrop. The design is finished with The Perth Mint's "P" mintmark and the 2026 year-date, while the obverse carries the Dan Thorne effigy of His Majesty King Charles III along with the coin's weight, fineness, and denomination, framed by an outer rim of native Australian flora.

Struck from 1oz of 99.99% pure silver with a $1 monetary denomination, the coin has a maximum mintage of just 5,000.

The coin is produced by The Perth Mint, one of the world's most respected mints for quality and craftsmanship in precious metals, this coin arrives in premium packaging that reflects its collectible status. As the latest chapter in the Wonders of Australia series, it offers both a striking artistic tribute to the Outback and a compelling addition to any silver proof coin collection.
