Australia The Outback 2026 $8 Kangaroo Double Gold-plated 5oz Silver Proof Coin

The Perth Mint is pleased to present the beautifully crafted 5oz Silver Proof Double Gilded Coin celebrating the Australia 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, arid 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 depicts 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. The obverse bears the Dan Thorne effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, and the coin's weight, fineness and monetary denomination. The outer rim is adorned with illustrations of native Australian fauna and rose gold gilding.
