$50,000 Could Be Yours! Back in 1966, we ran a competition that caught the eye of coin enthusiasts everywhere. From that competition the iconic Swan Dollar was born, which today remains one of the most sought-after designs ever produced in Australian numismatics. 60 years later were running it back. This time, however, the stakes are much higher. Crown Design Competition Design your coin, send us your submission and be in to win big! $50,000AUD grand prize Winning design struck in gold & silver Entries close end of September Upload Your Design The Brief Other than the date, the theme of the new competition remains unchanged from the original: A design of any nature suitable to Australia, and the words AUSTRALIA 2027. That could mean Aussie flora, fauna, food or something fun the choice is yours! No limit is placed on the coins design, except that it should be simple and modern. Both a reverse and obverse design are required for each entry. The crown is 38mm in diameter. A monarch is not required Entrants may submit as many designs as they wish The winning design must be able to be produced using modern minting standards Entries open 1 February 2026 and close at 11:59pm AEST on 30 September 2026.
