2026 $5 HM Queen Elizabeth II Centenary of Birth 1oz Fine Silver Proof Coin

The Royal Australian Mint has just released this beautiful 2026 $5 Silver Proof Coin to mark the centenary of the birth of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

Queen Elizabeth's story is interwoven with Australia's own.

Her historic visit in 1954 captured the nation's imagination, while her effigy appearing on our decimal coins from 1956, becoming a daily reminder of t enduring presence. Yet it was the Queen's many passions that revealed the woman behind the Crown.

Her wartime service with the Auxillary Territorial Service reflected a sense of duty instilled from youth, that she carried throughout her reign.

Equally, her support for the arts nurtured creativity and cultural expression across the Commonwealth for seven decades.

The Queen's love of horses and corgis is well know, while family remained her greatest treasure as a mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.

All these facets of an extraordinary life have been stunningly captured in this new commemorative coin.

One hundred years after the birth of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, we remember not only a Monarch, by a remarkable life of devotion and humanity.

The coin's reverse features a beautiful new portrait of the Queen, framed with symbols of her life, passions and reign.

Coin's obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III sculpted by Daniel Thorne.

Encapsulated coin presented in a presentation case with certificate of authenticity and outer carton.
