A color-engraved silver coin in a decorative card, limited to 2,500 pieces.

Perth Mint: The Outback 1-ounce silver 2026 is a strikingly beautiful bullion coin from the Wonders of Australia series, dedicated to the most iconic elements of Australia’s nature and landscape. Produced by the renowned Perth Mint, this coin takes us to the very heart of the Australian Outback—a vast region associated with a harsh climate, red deserts, rocky terrain, and an extraordinary abundance of local wildlife. The Australian Outback is one of the continent’s most recognizable landscapes. It features vast deserts, arid plains, rocky ranges, and seasonal rivers and natural waterholes. Despite the challenging environmental conditions, this region is home to many unique species of animals and plants that have adapted to life in one of the harshest environments on Earth. It is precisely this remarkable ability of nature to survive and adapt that inspired the coin’s design.

The reverse features a detailed scene depicting the characteristic landscape of the Outback. Amid the red rock formations, desert vegetation, and a natural watering hole, one can spot typical representatives of Australian fauna—the emu, eagle, dingo, kangaroos, and frilled lizard. The composition is framed by the sun rising above the horizon, which further emphasizes the rugged and wild character of the Australian interior. The wealth of detail makes this coin not only a silver bullion piece but also an intriguing interpretation of one of Australia’s most iconic landscapes. The obverse features the official portrait of King Charles III, designed by Dan Thorne. Surrounding the portrait are details regarding the denomination, weight, and silver fineness, and the design is complemented by a decorative border featuring motifs inspired by Australian nature and the sea.
