Celebrate Australia’s deep spiritual and ecological heritage with the 2026 2 oz Turtle Yaunati Antiqued Colorized Silver Coin, expertly struck by the Perth Mint. Crafted from 2 troy ounces of .9999 fine silver, this beautifully detailed collectible honors the turtle, a powerful symbol in Indigenous Australian culture representing wisdom, longevity, creation, and the enduring connection between land, sea, and people.

Found throughout Australia’s reefs, wetlands, and coastal waters, they remain a vital part of the natural ecosystem and cultural storytelling across generations.
