The 2026 Australian Citizenship $1 Coin is a meaningful keepsake that celebrates the commitment, unity and shared values represented by Australian citizenship. Issued as Australian legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965, this collectible acknowledges the contributions of new Australians and the diverse communities that make up the nation.

Struck in Aluminium Bronze (AlBr) by The Perth Mint, the 2026 issue features the Commonwealth Coat of Arms on the reverse. This historic emblem displays the badges of the six Australian States arranged on a shield surrounded by an ermine border, symbolising the Federation of 1901. Above the shield sits the seven-pointed Commonwealth Star, while the kangaroo and emu—native species significant to Australia’s identity—serve as supporters. The design includes the inscriptions AUSTRALIAN, CITIZENSHIP, and the year-date, along with the Perth Mint’s traditional ‘P’ mintmark.

The obverse bears the Dan Thorne effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, together with the monetary denomination. With an unlimited mintage, this release is accessible to collectors, families and those wishing to mark a citizenship milestone or celebrate someone who has taken the pledge of commitment.

Measuring 30.70 mm in diameter and presented on an illustrated card featuring the Australian flag and Southern Cross elements, the 2026 Citizenship $1 Coin is well suited for ceremonies, gifts and personal collections. It serves as a thoughtful reminder of the values of community, acceptance and shared national identity that underpin Australian citizenship.
