2026 Decimal Currency 60th Anniversary Ten Dollar 1/10oz Gold 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.

• Coin’s reverse celebrates Australian decimal currency by elegantly combining design elements from all eight standard circulating coins.
  
  
• Extremely limited mintage only 2,026 gold proof coins
  
  
• Struck on exquisite 99.99% gold to the Royal Australian Mint’s proof standard
  
  
• Packaged in an attractive presentation case with an outer box
