Obverse: The obverse depicts the Australian emu, one of Australia's best-known national symbols. The bird is shown in a natural rural landscape featuring a farm building, windmill, and native vegetation. The inscription "AUSTRALIAN EMU" appears at the top, while the bottom includes the year 2026, the weight 1 oz, the purity 9999 GOLD, and The Perth Mint's "P" mintmark.
Reverse: The reverse features the official effigy of King Charles III, designed by Dan Thorne. Surrounding the portrait are the inscriptions "CHARLES III", "AUSTRALIA", the face value 100 DOLLARS, and the legal tender inscriptions.
About the coin: The 2026 Australian Emu 1 oz gold coin is struck from 99.99% pure gold (.9999) by the renowned Perth Mint. The Australian Emu series is one of Australia's most popular bullion and collectible coin programs, featuring a brand-new emu design each year. Its limited mintage, exceptional minting quality, and annually changing artwork make it highly desirable among both investors and collectors.
Interesting fact: The emu is one of the two animals featured on Australia's national coat of arms alongside the kangaroo. Both animals are said to symbolize progress because they rarely move backwards. Founded in 1899, The Perth Mint is one of the world's oldest and most respected precious metals mints. Gold Emu coins are typically produced in much lower mintages than many other Australian bullion coins, making them especially attractive to collectors.
