2026 $1 1oz Fine Silver Proof Coin – Kangaroo Series: Mob of Six

*Strictly Limited to 1 Per Person*

Celebrate six decades of Australian decimal currency with the 2026 release in the Royal Australian Mint's flagship Kangaroo Series. Titled "Mob of Six", this stunning 1oz silver proof coin pays tribute to 60 years of decimal coining since the landmark conversion in 1966.

Kangaroos have held a central position in Australia's numismatic tradition since pre-decimal coins were first struck in 1910. Building upon Stuart Devlin's iconic $1 design—which introduced the famous mob of five kangaroos in 1984—this special release adds a sixth kangaroo to represent the sixth decade of decimal currency, uniting classic design heritage with fine precious metal craftsmanship.
