2026 $5 1oz Fine Silver Proof Coin - HM Queen Elizabeth II Centenary of Birth

The Coin Company is proud to present the 2026 $5 1oz Fine Silver Proof Coin - HM Queen Elizabeth II Centenary of Birth by the Royal Australian Mint.                                           

Queen Elizabeth’s story is interwoven with Australia’s own. Her historic visit in 1954 captured the nation’s imagination, while her effigy appearing on our decimal coins from 1966, becoming a daily reminder of her enduring presence. Yet it was the Queen’s many passions that revealed the woman behind the Crown.         

Her wartime service with the Auxiliary Territorial Service reflected a sense of duty instilled from youth, that she carried throughout her reign. Equally, her support for the arts nurtured creativity and cultural expression across the Commonwealth for seven decades. The Queen’s love of horses and corgis is well known, while family remained her greatest treasure as a mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. All these facets of an extraordinary life have been stunningly captured in this new commemorative coin.

One hundred years after the birth of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, we remember not only a Monarch, but a remarkable life of devotion and humanity.
