Emu pairs mate for life, with the male taking on the primary responsibility of incubating the eggs and caring for the chicks. The female lays large, dark green eggs in a ground nest, and the male incubates them for about eight weeks. After hatching, the chicks stay with their father for several months, learning essential survival skills before becoming independent.

All 2024 1 oz Australian Silver Emu Coins are available in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. Each of these silver coins comes with its own acrylic capsule, with multiples also available in capsules. For multiples, 20 coins are sealed together in plastic rolls and 100 coins are available in boxes. Each box holds 5 sealed rolls of 20 coins each.

On the obverse of 2024 Australian Silver Emus is a portrait of His Majesty King Charles III. This is the first appearance of His Majesty in this coin series. This left-profile relief was created for Perth Mint by Dan Thorne and does not feature a crown on the monarch’s head.

The reverse side of the 2024 1 oz Silver Emu Coin comes with a new depiction of the emu species. Emus are omnivores, with their diet consisting primarily of plants and insects. They play an important role in seed dispersal across the Australian continent, as they can travel long distances and pass seeds through their digestive system unharmed. These birds are also known for their curious nature and are often attracted to shiny objects, which can sometimes lead to amusing interactions with humans.
