2026 $10 1/10oz Gold 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 long-running Kangaroo Series. Titled "Mob of Six", this premium $10 gold proof coin pays tribute to 60 years of decimal coining since the landmark transition in 1966.

Kangaroos have held an iconic position on Australian legal tender since the nation's pre-decimal coins were first struck in 1910. Building upon Stuart Devlin's world-famous $1 design—which originally featured five kangaroos—this special release adds a sixth kangaroo to symbolise the sixth decade of decimal currency, seamlessly blending numismatic tradition with fine precious metal crafting.
