2026 Seven-Coin 125th Anniversary of Federation Uncirculated Collection

Royal Australian Mint – Limited Mintage 12,500

Pocket Treasures Coins & Collectables is proud to offer this significant 2026 commemorative release celebrating 125 Years of the Commonwealth of Australia.

On 1 January 1901, six self-governing colonies united to form the Commonwealth of Australia — a defining moment in our nation’s history. To honour this milestone, the Royal Australian Mint has released a stunning series of uncirculated coins celebrating Federation.

The Collection

Each of the six original colonies-turned-states is commemorated on a rarely seen 25-cent coin, featuring the state’s distinctive faunal and floral emblems:

• New South Wales
• Victoria
• Queensland
• South Australia
• Western Australia
• Tasmania

The NSW and South Australia designs also acknowledge the Australian Capital Territory and Northern Territory, which were formed in 1911 but were part of those states at Federation.

A seventh coin — a $1 Uncirculated coin — represents the Commonwealth of Australia.

Historical Significance

The journey to Federation was not without challenge. Throughout the 1890s, conventions and referendums shaped the path forward.

In 1900, the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act was passed by British Parliament and signed by Queen Victoria.

On 1 January 1901, thousands gathered at Centennial Park to witness the inauguration of the Commonwealth.

The first Federal Parliament was opened on 9 May 1901 at Melbourne’s historic Royal Exhibition Building.

This 2026 release commemorates 125 years since that historic day.
