Australian Emu 2026 1oz Silver Coloured Coin

The Perth Mint presents the Australian Emu 2026 1oz Silver Coloured Coin, celebrating Australia's largest living bird in stunning detail, struck in 99.99% pure silver.

The emu is endemic to Australia and is the nation's largest living bird. Found throughout Australia's coastal regions, deserts, plains, forests and mountains, the emu is the world's second largest bird. With wings too small for flight, this six-foot creature is equipped with long and powerful legs enabling it to sprint at speeds of nearly 50km per hour. Its primitive feathers, which resemble coarse hair, help it survive the extreme temperature changes of the Australian outback.

The coloured reverse portrays an adult emu running across the Australian outback beneath a captivating blue and violet sky, with a shed and windmill amid low grasses and rocky terrain. The obverse bears the Dan Thorne effigy of His Majesty King Charles III. Limited to a mintage of 2,500, the coin is presented in a presentation case.
