2026 Decimal Currency 60th Anniversary One Dollar Silver Proof Coin

In 2026, the Royal Australian Mint celebrates the sixtieth anniversary of Australian decimal currency by exploring six decades of our shared numismatic history.

Australia in the 1960s was a young country wanting to assert itself on the world stage. The changeover to decimal currency was a symbolic and practical part of this. The government's public education campaign, with the cartoon character 'DollarBill", helped Australians make the changeover on 14 February 1966 without a hitch. While Stuart Devlin's iconic and enduring circulating designs remain a timeless testament to this aspirational endeavour.

Since then, the Mint and Australian coins have adapted to the changing times and requirements.

• The silver proof coin includes a ‘C’ mintmark and a presentation case
  
  
• Coin’s reverse celebrates Australian decimal currency by elegantly combining design elements from all eight standard circulating coins.
  
  
• Displayed in a presentation case with a numbered Certificate of Authenticity
  
  
• Limited to only 5,000 silver dollar coins
