2025 1oz Perth Mint Gold Emu Coin

Celebrating one of Australia’s most iconic and culturally significant birds, The Perth Mint presents the Australian Emu 2025 1oz Gold Bullion Coin. Struck from 99.99% pure gold with a strict mintage of just 5,000, this exquisite coin captures the majesty and resilience of the emu, a symbol of endurance and adaptability in the Australian wilderness.

A National Icon

The emu holds deep cultural importance in Indigenous Australian traditions and is revered for its unique characteristics:

• The world’s second-largest bird, standing up to six feet tall, with powerful legs that allow it to sprint at nearly 50km/h.
• Unable to fly, it thrives in diverse landscapes - from coastal plains to deserts - thanks to its primitive, hair-like feathers that regulate extreme temperatures.
• A rare example of male incubation, where the father protects the nest for eight weeks, surviving on minimal food and water.
• Chicks hatch with distinctive brown stripes for camouflage and grow independent within seven months.

Coin Design & Features

The reverse showcases a stunning depiction of:

• An adult emu walking alongside five chicks, symbolising family and survival.
• A desert landscape with a radiant sun and sky, reflecting the emu’s natural habitat.
• The inscriptions ‘AUSTRALIAN EMU’, weight (1oz), purity (99.99%), 2025 year-date, and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark.
• A hidden micro-laser engraved letter (detectable under magnification) for authentication.

The obverse features the effigy of King Charles III, designed by Dan Thorne, confirming its status as legal tender (100 AUD).
