2026 $1 Heart and Soul of Australia International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists Fine Silver Proof Coin

2026 $1 Heart and Soul of Australia International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists Fine Silver Proof Coin

The United Nations has designated 2026 as the International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists (IYRP).

In celebration of IYRP, the Royal Australian Mint presents a splendid new $1 fine silver proof coin.

Both in Australia and globally, rangelands play many important roles.
They sustain biodiversity across their wide range of ecosystems and the native species they support.
Plant cover across rangelands also helps to protect soils and absorb carbon.
As well, rangelands contribute significantly to the economy through the agricultural, mining and tourism industries.

IYRP also celebrates the people who live on rangelands.
In Australia, this encompasses many communities around the country, including significant numbers of First Nations People. Those who manage the millions of livestock grazing on the rangelands are known as pastoralists.

Modern practices and technological innovation combine with traditional knowledge developed over generations to enable improvements in land management and stewardship.

This 2026 $1 Silver Proof Coin beautifully depicts an Australian rangeland scene.
With a limited mintage of 5,000, it would be an excellent addition to any collection.

Coin reverse features a design representing Australian rangelands and pastoralism, by Mint coin designer Adam Ball.

Each coin obverse features the Daniel Thorne effigy of His Majesty King Charles III.

Struck to the Mint's renowned proof standard from 99.9% Pure silver.

Packaged in a protective capsule and presentation case wit numbered certificate of authenticity.

Each coin is issued as Australian Legal Tender.

Limited Mintage of just 5,000.
