This 2026 PNC celebrates the United Nations International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists, honouring the vast landscapes and hardworking people who sustain Australia’s pastoral heritage. The exclusive Royal Australian Mint $1 coin features a classic outback scene of a stockman on horseback with his working dog, sheep and cattle beneath a tree, capturing the rugged spirit of the rangelands. Only available in this cover, the coin carries the special envelope privy mark that sets it apart from the standard release.

Sealed in an illustrated envelope depicting a red-dirt stock route with cattle, complete with matching stamp and official postmark, each cover is limited to just 6,000 worldwide. Bearing the King Charles III obverse, this PNC is a fitting tribute to the land and the pastoralists who call it home.
