2022 Perth Mint Australian Emu Gold Coin - 1oz
Endemic to Australia, the emu is the world’s second-largest bird. Though flightless due to its small wings, this six-foot-tall species is equipped with long, powerful legs that allow it to sprint across the outback plains at speeds approaching 50 kilometres per hour.
The coin’s design depicts an emu standing guard over her young chicks, conveying a sense of vigilance and care. The birds’ insulating plumage—vital for surviving the extreme temperature fluctuations of the outback—is rendered in exceptional detail.
The reverse also features the inscription AUSTRALIAN EMU, The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark, along with the coin’s weight, purity, and year-date.
For added security, the coin includes a micro-laser-engraved authentication feature. Visible only under magnification, this precision detail significantly enhances protection against counterfeiting.
