This limited mintage coin celebrates one of the 'Land Down Under's' many remarkable indigenous fauna, namely, the emu, which happens to be the second largest bird in the world.
The coin's reverse depicts the flightless emu, on the move in his native outback habitat, a stunning landscape of indigenous Australian flora. This artful portrayal is joined by the coin's title, as well as it's year of issue, weight and purity.
The coin's obverse is home to Ian Rank-Broadleys famed effigy of Elizabeth II, a beautifully detailed portrait set on a lightly textured field. This effigy is en-circled by a wide frame, bearing Elizabeth II's name, the country of origin and the coin's unique denominational value.
The emu is flightless due to it's diminutive wingspan, however these birds are known to traverse huge distances on foot, at a brisk trot, much like the better known and more prolific ostrich. Pay tribute to the many unique and wonderful birds and beasts that call Australia home and diversify your holdings with a 1 oz 2018 Australian Emu silver coin today.
ABOUT THE PERTH MINT
The Perth Mint opened in 1899 as the British Royal Mint's 3rd branch in Australia. The historical Hay Street location handled gold refining until moving to a modern facility in April 1990. Ownership of the mint was transferred to the Government of Western Australia in July of 1970. Under an agreement with the Commonwealth Treasury, they were empowered to mint and market gold, silver, and platinum as Australian legal tender to investors and collectors worldwide. Today, they are amongst the elite world mints whose pure gold, silver, and platinum items are trusted without question. Items such as the Australian Nugget, Silver Coin Series (Kangaroo, Kookaburra, Koala, and Platypus to name a few), as well as the Australian Lunar Gold and Silver Coin Series are extensively sought after by bullion investors worldwide.
