2026 Niue 1 oz Silver Australia at Night: Greater Bilby

The night comes alive in a striking numismatic release from Niue. This modern silver coin, minted in the year 2026, highlights the nocturnal world of the Southern Hemisphere with a specialized black proof finish. The dark, reflective surface provides the perfect backdrop for a scene set in the quiet hours of the Australian wilderness. On the reverse side, two greater bilbies are depicted navigating their native environment. A moon dips below the horizon in the background, casting a soft glow over the hillside landscape. The design is accompanied by inscriptions that identify the theme as part of the Australia at Night series, specifically celebrating the Greater Bilby. The obverse of the coin bears the official portrait of His Majesty King Charles III. Surrounding the royal effigy are inscriptions detailing the issuing nation of Niue, the face value of One Dollar, the 2026 release year, and the metal specifications, which confirm the coin contains one troy ounce of 0.999 fine silver. Backed by the government of Niue, this legal tender release is limited to a mintage of just 1,000 pieces.
