2025 Chess Queen $1 Silver Coin (1oz) – Black Proof Finish
Powerful, strategic, and elegant — the 2025 Chess Queen 1oz Silver Coin captures the commanding presence of the queen in the timeless game of chess. Issued by the Royal Australian Mint, this release follows the popular 2024 Chess Knight coin and continues the highly anticipated Chess Series, celebrating one of the world’s oldest and most revered board games.
The coin’s reverse features a sleek, stylised rendering of the Queen chess piece, enhanced by a dramatic black proof finish — a rare and striking technique that provides bold contrast and modern sophistication. The chessboard-themed background adds context and dimension, making the design visually immersive and perfect for display.
Struck from 1oz of .999 fine silver, this legal tender coin carries a face value of $1 AUD and features the effigy of King Charles III on the obverse, symbolising the transition to a new era in Australian numismatics
The Chess Queen Silver Coin represents not just the most powerful piece on the board, but also strategic thinking, precision, and artistry — values echoed in this beautifully minted coin. With a limited mintage of just 999, it’s a must-have for collectors of chess-themed items, limited-edition silver coins, or anyone drawn to minimalist elegance in modern numismatics.
