2026 $1 Winter Olympics Coloured Uncirculated Coin
The Royal Australian Mint is proud to support the Australian Winter Olympic Team as they take on the world at the 2026 Milano Cortina Games. This 2026 $1 Coloured Uncirculated Coin embodies the whole nation’s pride and passion for Team Australia. Australia’s history at the Winter Olympics is a remarkable story of perseverance, growth and groundbreaking achievements.
Australia first competed at the Winter Olympics in 1936, sending just one athlete to Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany. For decades, results were modest, as winter sports lacked the infrastructure and popularity of their summer counterparts. That changed dramatically in 2002, when Steven Bradbury won Australia’s – and the Southern Hemisphere’s – first Winter Olympic gold medal in short track speed skating, in one of the most iconic moments in Olympic history. Since then, Australia has steadily grown into a respected winter sports nation.
Alisa Camplin claimed aerial skiing gold just days after Bradbury, and Torah Bright dazzled with snowboard halfpipe gold in 2010. In freestyle skiing, moguls star Dale Begg-Smith and aerialist Lydia Lassila also became Olympic champions, helping put Australia on the map in gravity-defying events. Australia’s Winter Olympic medal tally continues to grow, driven by innovation, world-class training programs and an ever-expanding talent pool from snowfields across the country. From humble beginnings to podium regulars, Australia’s winter athletes embody resilience, courage and the proud green-and-gold spirit on the world stage.
This stunning 2026 Winter Olympics coloured uncirculated coin has a mintage of 25,000.
DESIGN

The obverse of each coin bears the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III sculpted by Daniel Thorne, as well as the monetary denomination and 2026 year-date.
PRESENTATION
