Commemorate six decades since Australia's historic shift to decimal currency with the 2026 Decimal Currency 60th Anniversary 1oz Gold-Plated Silver Proof Coin (Niue $1). Issued to mark the 60th anniversary of the changeover on 14 February 1966—when pounds, shillings, and pence gave way to dollars and cents—this luxurious proof coin unites all seven iconic native animals from Stuart Devlin's original decimal designs: the kangaroo and emu (50c), platypus (20c), lyrebird (10c), echidna (5c), frilled-neck lizard (2c), and feathertail glider (1c). These beloved fauna symbols are masterfully arranged in high-relief around the central "60 YEARS" inscription, encircled by intricate foliage and the years 1966–2026, creating a stunning tribute to Australia's numismatic heritage.

Struck from 1oz of 99.9% pure silver to flawless proof quality, the coin is elegantly finished with 24-carat gold plating for a warm, luxurious glow that enhances every fine detail. Measuring 38.60mm in diameter, it features the effigy of King Charles III on the obverse and is official Niue legal tender with a $1 face value. Presented in a premium black presentation case with a gold-accented outer shipper box displaying vibrant floral and fauna artwork, this exclusive release is strictly limited to just 1,250 pieces worldwide (your coin's mintage number shown as 0002/1250 in images; yours will be a random number from the series). A perfect keepsake for decimal currency collectors, royal enthusiasts, or anyone appreciating Australia's enduring wildlife legacy and this significant milestone.
