2026 PNC - 60th Anniversary of Decimal Currency Postal Numismatic Cover

2026 60th Anniversary of Decimal Currency Stamp and Coin Cover (PNC) Australia Post – Royal Australian Mint Limited Edition Overview This 2026 PNC commemorates the 60th anniversary of Australia's transition to decimal currency on 14 February 1966. Replacing the complex system of pounds, shillings, and pence, the move to a base-10 system was supported by a massive public education campaign. This release celebrates the enduring legacy of the Stuart Devlin-designed coinage and Gordon Andrews’ vibrant banknotes that redefined Australia’s national identity.

Coin Details The cover features a 2026 uncirculated $1 coin struck by the Royal Australian Mint. Notably, this coin includes an exclusive "envelope" privy mark, available only through Australia Post. The design serves as a modern tribute to the original decimal coins that simplified Australian commerce six decades ago.

Stamp & Presentation Included is a commemorative Australian stamp cancelled with an official First Day of Issue postmark. The illustrated envelope details the historical shift to the new currency, including the introduction of the various denominations and the eventual arrival of the $1 coin in 1984.
