The 2018 introduction of the Australian Emu added to Perth Mint’s impressive catalog of annual bullion coins. Following the footsteps of the Australian Gold Kangaroo and the Australian Silver Kookaburra, the Australian Emu Series offers both gold and silver bullion coins, with both options rooted in 1 oz options.
On the obverse of 2023 Australian Gold Emu Coins, you will find the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II from Jody Clark. Designed for the Royal Mint in 2015, this sixth-generation portrait to grace Australian coins and features Her Majesty at the age of 89. This image shows the Queen in right-profile relief wearing the George IV State Diadem Crown.
The reverse side of the 2023 1 oz Gold Emu Coin comes with the newest image in the Australian Emu Series. The emu is the world’s second-largest bird. Though it stands more than six feet tall, it does not have large enough wings to fly and is behind only in the ostrich in terms of overall size among avian species. In this design, the right-profile image of an emu with its small head and long neck feature in the foreground. The background offers a left-profile depiction of the full body of the emu. This side of the coin also features a micro-laser letter engraved as a security element to deter counterfeiting. It is only visible under magnification.
