A Coin for the Christmas Tree: Colours of Christmas 2026 50c Uncirculated Coin in Card
Here is a Christmas coin you can hang on the tree. The Royal Australian Mint's Colours of Christmas 2026 50c Coloured Uncirculated Coin comes in a decorative hanging card that doubles as an ornament.
At $30, it is an affordable way to add a genuine Australian coin to your Christmas decorations, or to someone's stocking.
About the coin and card
The reverse, designed by E. Waterford, shows a mandala-style snowflake filled with colour, with 2026 at its centre. The obverse carries the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III.
The hanging card comes in five colour variants:
- Buy one coin and the card colour is chosen at random.
- Buy five coins and you receive one of each colour, while stock lasts.
A set of five makes a colourful cluster on the tree, or five small gifts ready to hand out.
Who it suits
- Children and grandchildren. A first Christmas coin, and a fun way to start a collection.
- Stocking fillers and Kris Kringle. Something more lasting than lollies at a sensible price.
- Teachers, neighbours and colleagues. A small gift with a little more meaning.
- Collectors who want every version of the 2026 design.
Uncirculated or proof?
This coin is the uncirculated version of the design. If you would like a premium keepsake, the silver proof version is also available, in a Christmas gift box with a mintage of 10,000. Our guide to proof versus uncirculated coins explains the difference.
