Featuring another fascinating creature from Australia’s unique animal kingdom, this release is an essential addition to your collection of coins featuring iconic fauna.
The Australian Emu is meticulously struck from 1oz of 99.99% pure silver to our renowned proof standard combining a mirror-like polished background with delicately frosted relief.
The coin’s reverse portrays a superb representation of the world’s second largest living bird striding across a scrubby landscape. Notice the fine detailing representing the flightless emu’s shaggy plumage – essential for its ability to survive extreme changes of temperature in the outback. Of important cultural significance to Aboriginal people for millennia, the six foot tall emu would have astonished the first European explorers to reach Australian shores in the 17th century.
Issued as legal tender under the authority of the Australian Currency Act 1965, the coin portrays the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on its obverse.
No more than 3,000 of these Australian Emu 2018 1oz Silver Proof Coins will be released by The Perth Mint.
Accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity, each coin in the mintage is housed in a classic textured grey presentation case and a colourfully illustrated box shipper.
