The Australia 1 Dollar Dame Nellie Melba colored silver coin 2011 is a striking tribute to Australia’s world-renowned soprano, Dame Nellie Melba (1861–1931). Issued by the Perth Mint in .999 fine silver, this release forms part of the “Famous Australians” series, celebrating national icons. On the reverse, a finely colored portrait of Melba appears in profile, her dignified image set against a polished proof background. To the left, native Australian flowers highlight her heritage, while below flows a musical staff adorned with notes and a treble clef — symbols of her legendary operatic career. The inscription Dame Nellie Melba – 1861–1931 crowns the design, with the Perth Mint’s “P” mintmark discreetly placed at the edge.
The obverse presents Ian Rank-Broadley’s effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, encircled by the inscription: ELIZABETH II – AUSTRALIA 2011 – 1 DOLLAR.
This coin pays homage to Melba’s international fame and cultural impact, showcasing numismatic artistry combined with music and history. Limited in mintage and enhanced with selective color, it is a highly desirable addition for collectors of themed silver coins.
