2023 Australian Emu 1oz Silver Coloured Coin

The Perth Mint is pleased to release this beautiful 1oz silver coin featuring the latest Australian emu design in colour.

Found only in Australia, the emu is the world’s second largest bird. With wings that are too small for it to fly, the six-foot creature is equipped with long and powerful legs, enabling it to sprint at speeds of nearly 50km per hour across the outback plains.

Each coin is struck by The Perth Mint from 1oz of 99.99% pure silver and issued as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965.

The Perth Mint will release no more than 2,500 of the Australian Emu 2023 1oz Silver Coloured Coin.

DESIGN

The coin’s coloured reverse portrays a close-up of an adult emu watching over its young offspring, and a stylised representation of a river. Also included in the design is the inscription ‘AUSTRALIAN EMU’, The Perth Mint’s traditional ‘P’ mintmark, the weight and fineness, and the 2023 year-date.

The coin’s obverse bears The Queen Elizabeth II Memorial Obverse, featuring the Jody Clark effigy supplemented with the dates of her reign, and the monetary denomination.

PRESENTATION

The Australian Emu 2023 1oz Silver Coloured Coin is presented in a classic display case with a clear acrylic lid within a themed shipper and is accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
