Sold out at the Royal Australian Mint, we are delighted to announce that the Birth of Queen Elizabeth II 2026 50c Uncirculated Coin is back in stock at Downies!

Born in April 1926, Queen Elizabeth II succeeded King George VI at the age of just 25. Ultimately, she would rule for 70 years and seven months, becoming Britain’s longest-reigning monarch. A beacon of stability in a world of seemingly endless change, Elizabeth II was known for her humility, dignity and strength in adversity, devoting her life to the service of Great Britain and the Commonwealth. She was – and remains – an icon to millions of people worldwide.

In honour of the centenary of the birth of Queen Elizabeth II, the RAM released this richly symbolic tribute. A compelling work of numismatic art, the design features a superb portrayal of the Queen, surrounded by symbols of her life, her reign and her passions. Importantly, this unique Australian legal tender coin was not issued for circulation, and was instantly targeted by serious decimal collectors.

As a result of the overwhelming demand, the mintage of 30,000 coins sold out at the Royal Australian Mint. Now back in stock at Downies, you must not miss this opportunity to keep your collection complete. With a tiny number available, immediate action is essential. Click add to cart now!
