Unusual among birds, it is the male emu that protects the clutch and incubates the eggs for two months, rarely leaving the nest for food or water, while the female moves on to breed again during the season. The chicks hatch with a distinctive brown and cream stripe for camouflage and are mostly independent by the age of seven months.

This 1oz coin, expertly crafted from 99.99 % pure silver, portrays an adult emu running across the Australian outback beneath a cloudy sky of blue and violet hues on its reverse. The inscription‘ AUSTRALIAN EMU’ appears within the design, which also includes the coin’ s weight, purity, 2026 yeardate, and The Perth Mint’ s‘ P’ mintmark.

With a history of swift sell outs, collectors are urged to act fast to secure this highly sought-after coin before this flightless bird runs off the shelves!
