Design gold Australian Emu coin 2024

The coin's design showcases a detailed depiction of the Australian emu, one of the continent's most recognizable and iconic birds. Known for its impressive size and speed, the emu is illustrated standing on a grassy sand dune with crashing waves in the background. This design highlights the diversity of Australian landscapes, from coastal areas to expansive inland regions. The inscription ‘AUSTRALIAN EMU,’ the ‘P125’ mintmark commemorating The Perth Mint's 125th anniversary, and details of the coin's weight, purity, and year complement the artistic design.
 
The reverse side of the coin features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, designed by Dan Thorne, along with the nominal value, which legitimizes the coin as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965.
