Following the runaway success of the first Australian Emu 1oz silver
bullion coin, The Perth Mint is pleased to announce a 99.99% pure gold
version for investors.
Emus are Australia’s largest native birds. Unknown to Europeans until 17th
century explorers reached the continent’s west coast, their name is probably
derived from the Portuguese word ‘ema' - meaning large bird.
At up to two metres tall, emus cannot fly. Instead they’re able to sprint
at 50kmh on long, powerful legs. To avoid obstacles and escape predators, the
vestiges of their wings can be used like air rudders to help them change
direction while moving at full speed.
Aboriginal people, who have occupied Australia for 60,000 years, have
enduring cultural links with these remarkable birds. Before the ancient
Greeks began scanning the heavens, indigenous people identified a
constellation known as the ‘Emu in the Sky’.
2018 Australian Emu 1oz Gold Bullion Coin
Celebrated on the 2018 Australian Emu 1oz Gold Bullion Coin, the iconic
creature is portrayed in an arid, scrubland setting. Superb detailing
highlights the bird’s shaggy-looking plumage, which helps it survive the
extreme changes in temperature that can be experienced in outback Australia.
Just 5,000 of these exceptional coins will be released. To secure this
very limited opportunity, registered clients are invited to place orders on www.perthmintbullion.com.
Purchasers in Australia can also call The Perth Mint customer services on
1300 201 112, or visit our Bullion Trading Room in person at 310 Hay Street
in East Perth.
