The Netherlands
Continuing a centuries-old tradition, the Netherlands has released its 2026 gold and double-gold ducat.

Niue
For its Colours of Australia 2026 series, the golden deserts of the Outback take focus on a 10z $1 silver proof coin. Honoring famous drylands like the Great Sandy Desert, the Great Victoria Desert, and the Simpson Desert, this limited-edition coin depicts two dingoes roaming a barren yellow-and-red landscape.
