Celebrate the enchanting beauty of the Ulysses butterfly with The Perth Mint's exquisite 2026 Butterfly 2oz Silver Antiqued Coloured Coin. The Ulysses butterfly, also known as the blue emperor or blue mountain swallowtail, is famed for its vivid electric-blue wings that shimmer with iridescence, native to the tropical regions of Australia, Papua New Guinea, Indonesia, and the Solomon Islands. The coin's coloured reverse features a magnificent Ulysses butterfly at its centre, accompanied by three smaller butterflies in flight, surrounded by vibrant native flora including golden goodenia blooms and pink Euodia blossoms, the butterfly's favourite food.

Struck design elements also include the Cape York lily and bower of beauty, along with a ribbon scroll inscribed 'BUTTERFLY', the coin's weight, purity, 2026 year-date, and The Perth Mint's 'P' mintmark. Struck from 2oz of 99.99% pure silver, the coin has been individually antiqued to give it the appearance of an ancient artefact, meaning each piece may vary slightly in finish. This stunning piece is a fitting tribute to one of nature's most dazzling and symbolic creatures, representing transformation and vitality. Strictly limited to 2,000 coins worldwide, it's a must-have for nature lovers and coin collectors alike.
