The Blue Triangle Takes Flight in the Australian Opal Wings Series

The Blue Triangle Takes Flight in the Australian Opal Wings Series

The Australian Opal Wings series continues with a breathtaking new release celebrating the delicate beauty of one of Australia’s most recognisable native butterflies—the Blue Triangle.

Following the remarkable response to the first coin in the series, the 2026 Australian Opal Wings – Blue Triangle 1oz Silver Proof Coin with Opal Insert brings together precious silver, intricate artistry and the luminous beauty of opal in a truly captivating collector piece.

Inspired by an Australian Native Beauty

Known for the brilliant turquoise-blue markings that sweep across its dark wings, the Blue Triangle butterfly is an unforgettable sight in Australian gardens and forests. Its graceful movement and striking natural colours make it a perfect subject for the second chapter of the Opal Wings series.

The coin’s detailed design captures the Blue Triangle resting among delicately engraved flowers. Every element has been carefully rendered in precious silver, from the butterfly’s elegant wing structure to the fine textures of the surrounding petals.

At the heart of the design is a luminous opal insert incorporated directly into the butterfly’s wing. As the coin moves through the light, the opal reveals changing flashes of pink, blue, green and violet, creating a sense of colour and movement.

As every opal has its own individual pattern and play of colour, each coin possesses a character that is uniquely its own.

Crafted in Precious Silver

Struck from 1oz of 99.9% pure silver and finished to an exceptional Proof quality, the coin beautifully combines polished and frosted surfaces to highlight the depth of the design.

The reflective background contrasts with the finely engraved butterfly and flowers, while the opal insert introduces a vivid touch of natural-looking colour. Together, these finishes create an elegant, dimensional appearance that changes as the coin is viewed from different angles.

More than a traditional silver coin, the Blue Triangle is a miniature work of art celebrating the connection between Australia’s extraordinary wildlife and one of its most treasured gemstones.

The Second Release in the Opal Wings Series

The Blue Triangle follows the highly sought-after Meadow Argus, continuing a five-coin journey through the remarkable world of Australian butterflies.

Each release in the series features a different butterfly brought to life in fine silver and enhanced by an opal insert. With every new design, collectors can watch the complete Opal Wings collection gradually take flight.

The first release attracted exceptional interest from collectors, and the Blue Triangle is expected to be just as highly sought after.

With a strictly limited worldwide mintage of only 1,000 coins, the Blue Triangle is an exclusive release created for collectors of Australian wildlife, opal coins and beautifully crafted modern numismatics.
