About This Coin
A fine addition to one of Australia's most admired collector programs, the 2026 $1 Blue-Breasted Fairy-Wren 1oz Silver Proof celebrates one of the nation's most captivating birds.
A favourite of John Gould, who described the species in 1844 as Malurus pulcherrimus - meaning "very pretty" - the Blue-Breasted Fairy-Wren is famed for the breeding male's vivid blue plumage, chestnut shoulders, and deep blue throat and breast.
Struck to the highest Proof quality from 1oz of 99.9% pure silver, this 40mm legal tender coin features a design inspired by Gould's The Birds of Australia, the first comprehensive ornithological survey of the continent. With an extremely limited mintage of just 750, it is both striking and exclusive.
