2026 Kangaroo Series – Mob of Six 1oz Frosted Uncirculated Silver Coin

For the 2026 release in the long-running Kangaroo Series, the Royal Australian Mint is proud to present Mob of Six – a tribute to six decades of Australian decimal currency.

Kangaroos occupy a special place in Australia’s numismatic history. When the first Australian coins were minted in 1910, the kangaroo appeared along with the emu in the coat of arms on the threepence, sixpence, shilling and florin (most of these coins were later redesigned). In 1938, a leaping kangaroo was introduced to the penny, and the following year it leapt onto the halfpenny as well.

Following the changeover to decimal currency in 1966, the kangaroo appeared on the fifty-cent coin, again within the coat of arms. When the one-dollar coin entered the scene in 1984, replacing the one-dollar note, it featured a mob of five kangaroos. This iconic design by Stuart Devlin captures both the stillness and dynamism of these quintessentially Australian animals.

Each coin is struck by the Royal Australian Mint from 1oz of 99.9% pure silver and is issued as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965 with a mintage of 10,000.
