2026 125 Years of Federation Seven-Coin Uncirculated Collection
Prior to Federation in 1901, Australia compromised six self-governing colonies : New South Wales, Tasmania, Western Australia, South Australia Victoria and Queensland.
Growing calls in the late 19th century for the colonies to unite culminated in a series of referendums, which eventually passed in all six colonies.
The Commonwealth of Australia was inaugurated on 1 January 1901, and the first Parliament was opened in Melbourne four months later.
To commemorate the 125th anniversary of Federation in 2026, the Royal Australian Mint has released a range of beautifully designed uncirculated coins.
Each colony that became a state of Australia in 1901 is commemorated on a 25-cent coin which features the state's distinctive faunal and floral emblems,
There is also a one-dollar coin representing the Commonwealth of Australia.
The New South Wales and South Australia coins also include emblems of the Australian Capital Territory and Northern Territory respectively: these territories, formed in 1911, were part of the states at the time of Federation.
The seventh coin in the collection is a one-dollar coin representing the Commonwealth of Australia.
The seven coins, each presented in its own card, are as follows :
New South Wales - 25c
Tasmania - 25c
Western Australian - 25c
South Australia - 25c
Victoria - 25c
Queensland - 25c
