Description

SHIPPING IN 1-2 WEEKS

This beautifully crafted silver coin celebrates one of Australia’s most iconic native animals — the emu. Struck by The Perth Mint from 99.99% pure silver, this release combines fine precious metal with detailed colour to create a standout collectible.

The coloured reverse features an adult emu walking proudly alongside five young chicks, set against a stylised desert landscape with a warm orange sun and clear blue sky. The design reflects both the harsh beauty of the Australian environment and the strong bond between parent and offspring. The inscription “AUSTRALIAN EMU” appears within the design, along with the coin’s weight, purity, 2026 year-date, and The Perth Mint’s distinctive P mintmark.

Emus hold deep cultural significance in Australia and appear prominently in Indigenous stories and traditions. Found across a wide range of landscapes — from deserts and plains to forests and mountains — the emu is the world’s second-largest bird. Uniquely, it is the male emu that incubates and protects the eggs for around eight weeks, often going without food or water. The chicks are born with brown stripes for camouflage and become independent at around seven months of age.

With a strictly limited mintage of just 2,500 coins worldwide and Australian legal tender status, this release is highly sought after by collectors of Australian wildlife coins and premium silver issues alike.
