The emu is a beautiful large bird, second in size and height to the ostrich. The flightless emu can be found living all over Australia. Their diet is varied and includes plants, insects and anything that strikes their fancy. The large size of the bird means that it needs to eat a large amount of food, and eat it often.

Obverse

The obverse design of the 2018 Australian Emu 1 oz Silver Coin features the 1998 right-profile portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. This artwork is the fourth-generation portrait of Her Majesty and was created by world-renowned sculptor Ian Rank-Broadley. Also featured on the obverse side of the coin are the words Elizabeth II, Australia, and 1 Dollar.

Reverse

The reverse design of the 2018 Australian Emu 1 oz Silver Coin features a single emu striding through the brush scrub of the Australian Outback. There are several engravings on this side of the coin, including the P mint mark from the Perth Mint. Also featured are the year of coin issue, name of the coin series, along with the purity, weight and metal content of this silver coin.

The 2018 Australian Emu 1 oz Silver Coin kicks off the Australian Emu collection with a well-designed image of the emu, in all of his elegant pride.
