Great Southern Land – Australian Matrix Opal

The centrepiece of this extraordinary release is the matrix opal insert, shaped to represent the Australian continent. Natural matrix opal displays distinctive patterns and flashes of colour within its host rock, meaning the appearance of each insert can vary and giving individual coins their own character.

The use of Australian opal is particularly fitting for the Great Southern Land series. Earlier releases in the collection have also incorporated precious Australian materials into a map-shaped representation of the continent, celebrating both Australia’s landscape and its natural treasures.

Limited to Only 5,000 Worldwide

With a worldwide mintage restricted to just 5,000 pieces, the Great Southern Land 2026 Matrix Opal Coin combines precious metal, natural Australian gemstone and Perth Mint craftsmanship in a highly collectable format.

Combining 1oz of .9999 pure silver, Proof quality, genuine matrix opal and a limited 5,000-piece worldwide mintage, this is a standout addition for collectors of Perth Mint, Australian opal coins and premium Australian numismatic releases.
