Australian Emu 1 oz Silver 2022 MS 70 NGC First Day of Issue

The 2022 Australian Emu product is the fifth bullion edition of the unrivalled Australian Emu coin series, which is extremely popular with buyers and precious metals enthusiasts. The 2022 edition impresses with the incredible execution of each of the coin's details. The product depicts a female emu accompanied by her young, situated amidst their natural Australian habitat. On the reverse side, the capture of the animals through geometric perspective is incredibly impressive, with the birds' feathers captured as if swept by the wind. The emu is an endemic non-flying bird, naturally inhabiting areas of Australia. The animal is mainly a herbivore and can reach a maximum height of about 2 metres. The Australian Emu is one of the most famous animals inhabiting Australia, which also includes the kangaroo, koala, dingo, Tasmanian devil and wombat. The emu is featured in Australia's coat of arms along with the kangaroo. Due to the animal's motoric nature, it does not have the ability to walk backwards, retreating. Hence, the symbolism of the Australian Emu and the Australian Kangaroo in the country's coat of arms is progressiveness in line with the Australian motto - "never backwards, always forward". All previous editions of the Australian Emu, as well as the 2022 one, have been minted by the Australian Mint, The Perth Mint, which is one of the most well-known and renowned mints from around the world. The designer of the exquisite 2022 reverse design was Neil Hollis. The silver coin, the 2022 Australian Emu, was made from the highest quality Ag.9999 bullion, weighing 1 troy ounce and measuring 40.9mm in diameter. The coin was struck in a limited mintage of only 300 pieces. The coin is guaranteed by the Australian Government and is legal tender in the issuer's country. Furthermore, the 2022 Australian Emu silver coins are supplied in their original slabs. The Overt of the Australian Emu features an image of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Jody Clark. The edge of the coin bears the inscription: "ELIZABETH II", "AUSTRALIA" and the face value of the coin.

Rewers depict a female emu accompanied by a baby emu, resting amidst Australia's distinctive wilderness. The designer of the reverse was Neil Hollis, who amazingly crafted a reverse design confusingly reminiscent of the birds' natural plumage. In addition, the reverse bears the inscription 'AUSTRALIAN EMU' and information about the date of issue, weight and mint proof of the silver coin, as well as an engraved letter 'P' identifying the mint, The Perth Mint.
