The Australian emu is an unmistakable symbol of the country's unique wildlife. As Australia's largest living bird and the world's second-largest bird, the emu inhabits a remarkable range of environments, from coastal areas and open plains to forests, mountains and the arid landscapes of the outback.

Although its wings are too small to support flight, the emu is an exceptionally capable runner. Its long, powerful legs allow it to reach speeds of almost 50 kilometres per hour. Its unusual feathers, which have a coarse, hair-like appearance, also help the bird cope with the dramatic temperature changes found across Australia's interior.

This 2026 silver coin captures the character of the emu within a colourful Australian landscape, making it an appealing addition to collections focused on Australian wildlife, native fauna and contemporary coloured coinage.

Design

The reverse features an emu in motion against an expansive Australian outback setting. Blue and violet tones fill the cloudy sky, contrasting with the earthy colours of the landscape below. Low grasses, rocky ground, a shed and a traditional windmill complete the rural scene. The design incorporates the inscription ‘AUSTRALIAN EMU’, together with the coin's weight, silver purity, 2026 year date and The Perth Mint's ‘P’ mintmark.

Presentation

Accompanied by a numbered certificate of authenticity, the coin comes in a classic display case with a clear lid, and a specially designed artistic Emu shipper.
