Southern Cross Takes Pride of Place on Stellar New Coin Collection From ABC Mint and ABC Refinery
03 February 2026
The newest 1oz Southern Cross Silver Coin draws inspiration from the powerful symbols of Oceania.
When it comes to the stars that rule our skies, there is no constellation more recognisable or that captures our national identity better, than the Southern Cross.
Comprising just four stars, the small-but-mighty constellation has for centuries been used as a navigational tool. With deep cultural significance for many indigenous cultures, it proudly features on the flags of Australia, New Zealand and many Pacific Island nations.
So when ABC Mint set out to design a signature bullion coin dedicated to Oceania, it was only fitting that the Southern Cross feature.
The Southern Cross Coin Collection has been made exclusively at our Coinatec facility in Italy, from Australian-mined 99.95% gold and 99.99% silver. These precious metals are responsibly and ethically sourced by ABC Refinery, the only independent Australian refinery with such accreditation.
The Southern Cross Coin Collection is available as an unlimited mintage series, available in both gold and silver:
The Kangaroo and Emu that feature on the Southern Cross Coin Collection symbolise a nation moving forward. Together, the series not only captures Australia's national identity but also its place in the world, anchored by the constellation that has guided us for centuries.
The range is the perfect accompaniment to ABC Mint’s exclusive Untamed Landscapes coin collection—in which each design features a famed Oceanic species, including The Crocodile, The Kiwi, The Thorny Lizard, The Kangaroo and The Sailfish.
