The 2 oz silver Yaunati Turtle 2026 is one of the most beautiful new releases of this minting year – and at the same time a true rarity. As an exclusive collector's coin with a mintage of only 2,000 pieces worldwide, it is aimed squarely at connoisseurs who seek the extraordinary. Anyone who collects coloured silver from the Perth Mint knows: editions this small sell out fast.

The Design: Green Sea Turtle in the Visual Language of the Dreamtime

The elaborately coloured design depicts a Green Sea Turtle surrounded by jellyfish, schools of fish, and the characteristic dot patterns of Aboriginal art. It was created by the multi-award-winning indigenous artist Chern'ee Sutton. In the culture of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, the turtle is regarded as a powerful totem – a symbol of creation, wisdom, longevity, and the deep connection between land and sea. A trail of eggs in the sand references the turtle's return to its birthplace, evoking the eternal cycle of renewal. The reverse bears the artist's signature, the Perth Mint's "P" mintmark, and the year 2026.

Every piece an original: thanks to the individual antique finish, no two of these coins are exactly alike.

Antique Finish and Colouring – Craftsmanship You Can Feel

The so-called antique finish gives the surface the character of an ancient artefact. Combined with the multi-colour colouring, the result is an extraordinarily three-dimensional, almost painterly impression. This craftsmanship makes this release a true eye-catcher within the turtle series – and underscores its character as a high-quality collector's item. The coin is delivered in its original box with a numbered certificate of authenticity.

Why Silver Has Always Captivated Collectors

Silver has a millennia-old history as a monetary metal and has been regarded in many cultures as a symbol of wealth and prestige. It is durable, retains its physical properties across generations, and possesses intrinsic value – supported by diverse industrial demand in electronics, solar technology, and medical technology. Unlike pure bullion coins, a collector's coin such as the Yaunati Turtle derives additional appeal from its design and its strict limitation. It is precisely this combination of artistry, design heritage, and low mintage that makes it so special.

A practical consideration for collectors in Germany: gains from the sale of physical silver are generally tax-free, provided the holding period is at least one year. In our silver coins category you will find numerous further releases – yet few combine artistic quality and a very low mintage as uncompromisingly as this one. Those who secure this small rarity today acquire a piece that brings joy and, thanks to its scarcity, carries a tangible appreciation potential.
