Australia 2026 $1 Australian Emu 1oz .9999 Silver Coloured Coin PERTH MINT

Found only in Australia, the emu is the world’s second largest bird. Although its wings may be small and unfit for flight, the emu compensates with its strong set of long legs, powering it to sprint at speeds up to a thrilling 50km per hour. 

Unique in nature, the male emu will protect and incubate the eggs for eight weeks, rarely leaving the nest for food and water. Born with distinctive brown stripes for camouflage, emu chicks become independent around seven months of age.

DESIGN

The coin’s coloured reverse portrays an adult emu walking alongside five young chicks. The background includes a representation of a desert landscape with a blue sky and orange sun. The inscription ‘AUSTRALIAN EMU’ appears within the design, which also includes the coin’s weight, purity, 2026 year-date, and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark.

PACKAGING

Accompanied by a numbered certificate of authenticity, the coin comes in a classic display case with a clear lid and an illustrated shipper.
