2026 Winter Paralympics $1 Coloured Uncirculated Coin

Royal Australian Mint – Limited Release

Honour the determination, courage, and inspiring achievements of Australia’s Winter Paralympic athletes with the official 2026 $1 Coloured Uncirculated Coin, issued by the Royal Australian Mint for the Milano Cortina Games.

This commemorative release celebrates Australia’s Paralympic journey — from its debut at the 1980 Winter Paralympics in Geilo, Norway, to the nation’s first medal in 1992, won by Michael Milton. Milton’s legendary career paved the way for future champions including Bart Bunting, Jess Gallagher, and Simon Patmore, whose success continues to inspire generations of athletes.

The coin’s dynamic reverse design by E. Waterford features an alpine skier surrounded by snowflakes and Team Australia graphics, symbolising the energy and spirit of winter para-sport. The obverse carries the effigy of King Charles III by designer Daniel Thorne.

Presented in a capsule within an official presentation card, this limited release is a meaningful collectible for sports fans, Paralympic supporters, and Australian coin collectors.
