Christmas in Australia

Christmas at the beach is an Aussie adventure packed with sunshine, salty splashes, and festive fun! While Santa swaps his sleigh for a camel, families gather on the sand for tasty barbecues, fresh seafood, and seaside picnics. Kids race into the waves, build giant sand-snowmen, and hunt for seashell treasures. With colourful decorations, beach umbrellas, and plenty of laughter, it’s a merry summer celebration full of coast-loving Christmas cheer.

Festive design

The coin's coloured design captures the spirit of the Aussie Christmas with Santa holding a pearl and his trusty camel and elf. Instead of the traditional snowy landscape, Santa is found on a beach with seashells and cheeky crabs clutching candy canes. Included in the design is the inscription '2026', accompanied by The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark.
