2026 Australia Queen Elizabeth II 100th Anniversary 1 oz Silver Proof Coin
The 2026 Queen Elizabeth II 100th Anniversary silver coin honors the centennial of one of the most significant monarchs in modern history. Struck by The Perth Mint from 1 troy ounce of .9999 fine silver, this commemorative release celebrates what would have been Her Late Majesty’s 100th birthday and reflects the remarkable legacy of her seventy-year reign.
Queen Elizabeth II served as a symbol of continuity and stability throughout decades of global change. Her reign, the longest in British history, spanned generations and strengthened the connections among Commonwealth nations. This coin commemorates that historic legacy with a design that reflects the evolution of her image across the decades.
The reverse features a striking arrangement of five official effigies used on coinage throughout Queen Elizabeth II’s reign. At the center is the modern portrait created by Jody Clark in 2019. Surrounding it are earlier portraits by Ian Rank-Broadley (1998), Raphael Maklouf (1985), Arnold Machin (1966), and Mary Gillick (1953). Together, these effigies illustrate the progression of her likeness across seven decades of coinage.
Behind the portraits appears the golden wattle, Australia’s national floral emblem, symbolizing unity within the Commonwealth. Royal regalia including St Edward’s Crown, the Sovereign’s Orb, the Tudor Rose, and the Sovereign’s Sceptre further reinforce the theme of royal authority and tradition.
The coin is struck in proof finish, featuring highly polished fields that contrast beautifully with the frosted design elements. The reverse also includes the inscription “H.M. QUEEN ELIZABETH II 100th ANNIVERSARY,” the year-date 2026, and The Perth Mint’s “P” mintmark. The obverse displays the effigy of King Charles III designed by Dan Thorne, along with the coin’s weight, purity, and denomination.
his release has a maximum mintage of 7,000 coins, with an issue limit of 5,000 pieces available to the public. Because of this controlled release and the historic significance of the Queen’s 100th anniversary, the coin carries strong appeal for collectors of royal commemoratives and limited-edition Perth Mint proofs.
