2026 $8 Wonders of Australia - Kangaroo 5oz Silver Proof Double Gilded Coin
The Perth Mint has just released the beautifully crafted 5oz Silver Proof Double Gilded Coin celebrating the Australian Outback.
Australia's vast and rugged outback is a land of awe-inspiring natural beauty, steeped in rich history and cultural significance.
The continent spans a staggering 7.68 million square kilometres, an area comprising deep canyons and desert, lush rainforests, and stunning coastlines.
Australia is home to between 600,000 and 700,000 species of wildlife, many of which are found only in Australia, making the Australian outback one of the world's most precious natural treasures.
The coin's reverse features a scene of kangaroos bounding across the rugged Australian terrain, set against the backdrop of a vivid sunset illuminating across the horizon.
The sun is gilded in radiant gold, while the sky and outer rim are gilded in stunning 22-carat pink gold.
Included in the design is The Perth Mint's 'P' Mintmark and 2026 year-date.
Struck by The Perth Mint from 5oz of 99.9% pure silver in proof gilded quality, the coin is issued as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965. The Perth Mint will release no more than 500 of the Wonders of Australia - 5oz Silver Proof Double Gilded Coins.
The coin’s obverse features the Daniel Thorne effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, and the monetary denomination.
The outer rim is adorned with illustrations of native Australian fauna and rose gold gilding.
The coin is accompanied by a stunning illustrated shipper and a numbered
