Royal Australian Mint

A Blooming Celebration of Nature and Design

This Floriade season, join us at the Royal Australian Mint for a delightful journey through the art of floral design, both in nature and on coins.

Step into the world of Australian coinage with a free guided tour that celebrates the beauty of flowers and plants in coin design. Running four times daily (11:00am, 11:30am, 1:00pm, and 2:00pm), this engaging experience offers a behind-the-scenes look at the Mint’s remarkable collection and its rich history in coin production.

Discover the intricate floral motifs featured on our coins and explore how nature has inspired Australia’s currency over the years. After your tour, continue your journey through the Mint at your own pace.

Tours are free and bookings are essential.

Delight your senses with our specially curated Floriade menu at the Mint Café, where Chef Rebecca has baked a selection of flower-inspired cupcakes, each showcasing a unique floral design. Indulge in the sweet, fragrant flavours of:

• Rose-infused French toast with a dollop of strawberry ice cream;
• Lavender tea, a signature blend by our barista Lily.

Take a moment to enjoy the Mint’s charming gardens, which are now in full bloom for Floriade.

Celebrate the beauty of nature with us during Floriade—where flowers, history, and design bloom together.
