Colours of Christmas 2026: A Coloured Silver Proof 50c Coin for the Festive Season
This will sell out very quickly. By the time you read this it may already be gone.
Christmas and coin collecting make a natural pair. A well-chosen coin is a gift that lasts far beyond the season.
The Royal Australian Mint's Colours of Christmas 2026 50c Coloured Silver Proof Coin is now available at Mint Coin Shop. It celebrates the season in bright colour and comes ready to give in a decorative Christmas gift box.
About the coin
The reverse, designed by E. Waterford, shows a mandala-style snowflake filled with colour. The year 2026 sits at its centre. The obverse carries the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III.

New to proof coins? Our guide to proof versus uncirculated coins explains the difference.
A gift with meaning
This coin works for collectors and for people who have never owned a proof coin.
- Collectors will appreciate the limited mintage of 10,000 and the 2026 date.
- Grandparents and godparents can mark a child's Christmas with a keepsake that will outlast any toy.
- Hard-to-buy-for adults get something more personal than a voucher.
- Christmas traditions. A dated Christmas coin each year can become a family collection in its own right.
The gift box means there is no need for extra wrapping. For more ideas, see our guide to coins as gifts, and read what coin mintage means if you are new to collecting.
Order early for Christmas
With only 10,000 coins minted, we suggest ordering soon. Ordering early also leaves plenty of time for delivery before Christmas.
