2025 50c Christmas Festive Florals Coloured Fine Silver Proof Coin

A number of native Australian plants that flower in December each year have traditionally been seen as heralds of the Christmas season.

One of these is the elegant Queensland Christmas Orchid - Calanthe triplicata, which the Royal Australian Mint celebrates with this stunning 2025 50c Coloured Fine Silver Proof Coin, the seventh release in the Mint's ingoing Christmas coin program.

Radiant and rare, the Queensland Christmas orchid - Calanthe triplicata - unfurls its snowy blossoms to herald the festive season with delicate beauty. Found in the lush, shaded rainforest, this native orchid enchants with its pure white flowers and elegant sprays, a quiet reminder of nature's enduring grace and the magic of an Australian Christmas.

The design for this beautiful new 2025 50c Coloured Fine Silver Proof coin reimagines the Queensland Christmas orchid as an ornate bauble hanging amongst a riot of Art Nouveau floral embellishments.
