Australia’s best-known baby animals start out in very different ways. A koala joey is born extremely small and undeveloped, then makes its way into its mother’s pouch, where it stays for months before finally appearing outside. Kangaroo joeys also arrive early in development and continue growing in the pouch for an extended period. Kookaburras are different, as chicks hatch from eggs after a short incubation period and begin life without feathers and without sight.

All 2026 1/2 oz Proof Australian Silver Newborn Coins offered here arrive inside a newborn-themed presentation booklet. Each coin includes a Certificate of Authenticity. These pieces have proof finishes on both sides, with frosted design elements set against mirrored background fields. On the reverse, each baby animal is colorized to help highlight small details and add warmth to the overall look.

On the obverse of 2026 Proof Australian Silver Newborn Coins is a portrait of King Charles III. The King appears in left-profile relief and is shown without a crown. This first-generation effigy was created by Dan Thorne.

The reverse of the 2026 1/2 oz Proof Silver Newborn Coin shows three young animals together in one sweet scene. A baby kangaroo sits at the center, with a kookaburra chick on the right and a baby koala on the left. In the background are festive design accents, with the word CONGRATULATIONS engraved above the animals.
