2026 $1 60th Anniversary of Decimal Currency ‘C’ Mintmark Fine Silver Proof Coin - Royal Australian Mint

Pocket Treasures Coins & Collectables is proud to offer the 2026 $1 60th Anniversary of Australian Decimal Currency ‘C’ Mintmark Fine Silver Proof Coin, issued by the Royal Australian Mint.

In 2026, Australia marks 60 years of decimal currency, a milestone that reshaped everyday life and modernised the nation. The transition on 14 February 1966 was both symbolic and practical, supported by a memorable public education campaign starring the lovable cartoon character “Dollar Bill.” This historic change helped a young Australia confidently step onto the world stage.

This beautifully crafted coin reflects six decades of numismatic evolution, from Stuart Devlin’s iconic original circulating designs to later innovations such as the twelve-sided 50c coin, the introduction of the $1 and $2 coins, and the withdrawal of the 1c and 2c coins from circulation.
