In 2025, The Perth Mint has once again captivated collectors and investors with a new release in its Australian Emu series . These bullion coins, minted in 1 ounce of pure gold or silver , combine technical precision, artistic beauty, and a deep connection to Australian identity.
The reverse features an adult emu accompanied by five young, moving across arid terrain under the outback sun. It's a print that conveys both tenderness and resilience: a faithful portrait of the continent's wildlife.
Each element of the engraving has been designed to evoke the emu's natural environment. The feathers are rendered with fine lines that capture the true texture, and the background features hills and sparse vegetation typical of the Australian outback. The edge of the coin frames the scene with the inscription "AUSTRALIAN EMU," the year "2025," and the purity of the metal.
On the obverse, both versions bear the effigy of Charles III , a symbol of Australian sovereignty.
Specifications that seduce investors

Brief history of the series
The Australian Emu series was born as a parallel offering to other Perth Mint successes, such as the kangaroo and kookaburra coins. Its objective: to highlight one of the most iconic and underrepresented birds in international numismatics. Since its first issue, the limited mintage and annual rotation of designs have ensured that each release is highly sought after on the secondary market.
The emu: more than an artistic motif
The emu can reach 2 m in height and run at 50 km/h.
The emu ( Dromaius novaehollandiae ) is Australia's largest bird and the second tallest on the planet, surpassed only by the ostrich. It lives in open, arid areas, adapting easily to the continent's climate variability.
Its cultural role is notable: it appears on Australia's coat of arms alongside the kangaroo and holds an important place in Aboriginal myths and stories. Furthermore, in nature, the male incubates the eggs for eight weeks and cares for the young, a behavior uncommon among birds that underscores its protective nature.
Exclusivity and future value
The limited availability—30,000 silver coins and only 5,000 gold coins—ensures that, over time, these coins will become more coveted. Their dual appeal as an investment asset and as a work of art in precious metal means that well-preserved examples can see their value grow beyond the price of gold or silver.
