📖 Story – A Royal Legacy in Australia
Queen Elizabeth II first visited Australia in 1954, marking a historic moment as the first reigning monarch to set foot on Australian soil.
To commemorate this visit, a special florin coin was issued featuring a lion and kangaroo, symbolising the enduring relationship between the United Kingdom and Australia.
This 2026 release revisits that historic design, celebrating both the Queen’s connection to Australia and the centenary of her birth, honouring a lifetime of service and dedication to the Commonwealth.
🎨 Design Description
The reverse showcases a stylised interpretation of the 1954 florin design, featuring a lion and kangaroo standing side by side, symbolising unity between Britain and Australia.
Both animals, along with the coin’s outer rim, are gilded in 24-carat gold, creating a striking visual contrast against the silver proof background. Surrounding the design is the inscription:
“H.M. QUEEN ELIZABETH II 100th ANNIVERSARY”, along with the 2026 year-date and The Perth Mint’s “P” mintmark.
The obverse features the Dan Thorne effigy of King Charles III, accompanied by the coin’s weight, purity, and denomination.
This release combines historical significance, premium minting, and limited availability, making it highly desirable among collectors of royal commemoratives and Perth Mint issues.
The connection to the 1954 florin, paired with gold gilding and high-purity silver, elevates this coin into a standout modern tribute to Queen Elizabeth II.
With a limited mintage of just 3,926, it offers both rarity and strong collector appeal, particularly for those focused on Commonwealth and royal-themed coinage.
