2026 Niue $1 Australia's White Whale 1oz Silver Coin

We've all heard of Moby Dick, the great Sperm Whale that terrorised Captain Ahab and the crew of the Pequod.... but how many know of Australia's very own White Whale, Migaloo? 

A super rare white Humpback Whale, Migaloo will thankfully not attack your boat and try to drag you to the depths. Rather, he simply cruises peacefully through the waters between Queensland and the Antarctic.

This one ounce, 99.9% pure silver coin celebrates our White Whale with some very impressive minting features! The first, and most prominent, is that spectacular white tail rising up and out of the obverse! Adding a special 3D element to this beautiful coin, the white fluke conjures up visions of not just Migaloo but, yes... also the vengeful Moby Dick, as he dives beneath the wave.

Also featured on both sides, a translucent blue enamel, allowing you to see though the water directly at the High Relief minted front and back of Migaloo himself on either angle of the coin.

Exclusive to Melbourne Coins & Collectables Co., this spectacular new coin is limited to just 300 pieces ever to be issued.
