Perth Mint: The Outback 1 oz Silver 2026

Perth Mint: The Outback 1 oz Silver 2026 is a silver bullion coin belonging to the Wonders of Australia series, issued by the renowned mint The Perth Mint. The coin’s design pays tribute to the Australian interior—the outback—a rugged, vast, and exceptionally biodiverse region that has shaped the continent’s identity for centuries.

The Australian outback encompasses vast expanses of deserts, semi-deserts, and wild plains, with a landscape of monumental rock formations, dry riverbeds, and rare yet vital waterholes. This region is home to hundreds of thousands of species of fauna and flora, many of which are endemic to Australia. The coin captures this extraordinary natural wealth through a dynamic, multi-element composition inspired by the wild heart of the continent.

The coin is struck from 1 oz of 99.99% pure silver (Ag 9999), has a face value of 1 Australian dollar, and legal tender status in Australia. The coin’s diameter is 40.9 mm, and its reeded edge underscores its classic mint character. The maximum mintage is set at 100,000 pieces.

The coin features an advanced anti-counterfeiting security feature in the form of a micro-engraved letter hidden within the reverse design. This element is visible only under magnification and significantly deters counterfeiting.

Obverse The obverse depicts the official effigy of King Charles III by Dan Thorne. The composition also includes the weight, silver purity, and face value inscriptions, all surrounded by a decorative motif inspired by coral reefs and Australian flora.

Reverse The reverse shows a vivid panorama of the Australian outback with characteristic animal species such as the emu, eagle, dingo, kangaroos, and the frill-necked lizard. The scene is complemented by landscape elements—a waterhole, sandstone rock formations, and a rising sun. The design also features The Perth Mint’s "P" mintmark and the year of issue 2026.
