The The Perth Mint Butterfly 2026 2oz Silver Coin celebrates one of Australia's most spectacular native insects—the magnificent Ulysses butterfly. Renowned for its brilliant electric-blue wings, this iconic species is beautifully portrayed in vivid colour alongside native Australian flora in a stunning design that captures the beauty of Australia's tropical rainforests.
The coloured reverse features a magnificent Ulysses butterfly surrounded by three smaller butterflies in flight. Native floral elements include the golden blooms of Goodenia, delicate pink Euodia blossoms, the distinctive Cape York lily and the elegant Bower of Beauty. Also incorporated into the design are the inscriptions 'BUTTERFLY', the coin's weight, purity, year-date and The Perth Mint's iconic 'P' mintmark.
Each coin has been individually antiqued to create the appearance of an ancient artefact, ensuring every piece displays its own unique character. The obverse bears the Dan Thorne effigy of His Majesty King Charles III together with the monetary denomination.
Struck from 2oz of 99.99% pure silver, this Australian legal tender release has a strictly limited mintage of just 2,000 coins worldwide. Each coin is presented in a display case with a butterfly-themed illustrated shipper and accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
