The Next Generation Series from Perth Mint showcases the parent-child bond among Australia’s native wildlife. Each design captures a different species and the unique connection that exists between parent and child. The collection features piedfort coin blanks offered in 2 oz and 10 oz silver options. Right now, 2024 10 oz Australian The Next Generation Emu Mother and Baby Silver Coins are available from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Each 2024 10 oz Australian The Next Generation Emu Mother and Baby Silver Coin comes with a protective plastic capsule. These coins are struck on piedfort coin blanks. Piedfort is rooted in French coining traditions and generally consists of striking a thicker blank to maintain the diameter of a smaller coin size, while increasing its weight through thickness rather than overall size.
The relationship between emu mothers and their chicks presents a fascinating reversal of typical parental roles, as it is actually the male emu who takes on the primary caregiving responsibilities while the female often moves on to mate with other partners during the breeding season. After the female lays her distinctive dark green eggs in a shallow nest, the male emu incubates them for approximately eight weeks, rarely leaving the nest except for brief periods to feed and drink, losing significant body weight during this dedicated brooding period.
The obverse of 2024 Australian The Next Generation Emu Mother and Baby Silver Coins comes with a portrait of King Charles III. The first-generation effigy of His Majesty, this left-profile relief depicts Charles III without a crown on his head. It was created in 2024 by Dan Thorne.
On the reverse of the 2024 10 oz The Next Generation Emu Mother and Baby Silver Coin, you will find a depiction of a parent emu with its three young chicks. The male emu’s fierce dedication to his offspring includes aggressive defense against potential predators, puffing up his feathers, making deep booming sounds, and even charging at threats much larger than himself, with this paternal bond lasting for up to six months until the young emus develop their adult plumage and can survive independently in the Australian wilderness.
