Obverse

The obverse side of 2021 Australian Emu 1 oz Silver Coins depicts Queen Elizabeth II in right-profile relief. Created in 2015 by Jody Clark, this design first appeared on British coins and has been the standard sixth-generation effigy of the Queen on Australian coins since 2018. It depicts the Queen in right-profile relief with the George IV State Diadem Crown on her head. The inscriptions on this field read Elizabeth II, Australia, and 1 Dollar.

Reverse

On the reverse face of the 2021 Australian Emu Silver Coin is a male emu near a body of water with its young hatchling. The hatchling has ventured close to the edge of the water as the male emu keeps a watchful eye on the pairs surroundings to ensure no predators get the drop on the young hatchling. Inscriptions on this side of the coin include Australian Emu, 2021 1 oz 9999 Silver, and the P mint mark of the Perth Mint.

History

This is the fourth issue of the Australian Emu Series from the Perth Mint. It features a new reverse design element and has the same mintage as the three previous releases. This years design shows off the male-hatchling relationship in the emu species. The male emu is responsible for the incubation and care of young emu after birth, which makes it highly likely that the pair featured in this years design represent a hatchling and its father.
