NEW RELEASE - $1 2026 Heart and Soul of Australia UNC

2026 $1 Heart & Soul of Australia – Rangelands & Pastoralists Uncirculated Coin

Celebrate the 2026 International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists (IYRP) with this striking Australian one dollar ($1) uncirculated coin from the Royal Australian Mint.

Recognised by the United Nations, IYRP highlights the vital role that rangelands and pastoralists play in sustaining communities, protecting ecosystems and supporting livelihoods around the world.

Australia's rangelands cover around 75% of the nation's landmass, encompassing an extraordinary diversity of landscapes including woodlands, grasslands, shrublands, deserts and tropical savannahs. From the rugged Pilbara and the iconic Red Centre to the Barkly Tableland and the Channel Country, these vast regions are an integral part of Australia's identity and truly represent the heart and soul of the nation.

The country's pastoralists—graziers, producers, stockmen and stockwomen, jackaroos and jillaroos—have long cared for these remarkable landscapes while supporting Australia's livestock, mining and tourism industries. Their contribution to the sustainable management of the land is recognised through this commemorative release.

Presented in an attractive collector card featuring a section of a linocut artwork specially created by Australian artist Elyssa Waterford, this official Royal Australian Mint release is a fitting tribute to Australia's unique landscapes and the people who call them home. A meaningful addition to any Australian coin collection.
