2018 Australia 1 Dollar 1-oz Silver Emu MS69 First Releases

A Low Mintage Option from a Favorite Source

Take a trip Down Under and you’re all but certain to make seeing Australian wildlife a priority. Kangaroos, wallabies, saltwater crocodiles, and at least among coin collectors, kookaburras, are sure to get most of the attention. While catching a glimpse of those animals in the wild never disappoints, the world’s third largest bird, the emu, is a surprising treat for many travelers. The sight is particularly memorable when people are lucky enough to see them at full stride, as the flightless birds can run over 31 mph at full stride! This 2018 Australia one ounce Silver Australian Emu coin shows the animal in one of its many natural habitats.

• THE FIRST EMU BULLION COIN -- This 2018 one ounce Silver Australian Emu coin marks the first time that the Perth Mint has released a bullion coin with the iconic bird’s image.

• FOUR NINE FINE – Each 2018 Silver Australian Emu was struck from one ounce of 99.99% fine silver at the Perth Mint. The Perth Mint is among the best reputed mints in the world, and its coins, bullion and otherwise, are prized by collectors throughout the world.

• AUSTRALIA LEGAL TENDER – This coin is $1 legal tender in Australia, as noted along the rim of the obverse under Ian Rank-Broadley’s portrait of Queen Elizabeth II.

• CERTIFIED VIRTUALLY FLAWLESS -- Your coin will be graded Mint State-69 (MS69) by Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC), a distinction that means your almost-flawless coin will showcase an impressive full strike and indistinguishable imperfections -- well above and beyond the quality of the vast majority of coins in the series.

• A LIMITED MINTAGE – Although the 2018 Silver Australian Emu is technically a bullion coin, its low mintage of 30,000 pieces means that it will soon prove elusive for many collectors.

The annual issues in Perth Mint’s silver Kookaburra and Koala series are invariably popular among collectors, but there is one thing that the two series do not offer: scarcity. Mintages typically run into the hundreds of thousands, which means that those collectors who want the coins, even issues from past years, can typically find them. By contrast, the 2018 Silver Australian Emu coin has a mintage of just 30,000 pieces, a tiny fraction of that of the other coins, and collectors who want one even this year may soon find themselves struggling to get one. Don’t be among those collectors who miss out on this first ever bullion issue.  Order your 2018 one ounce Silver Australian Emu coin from GovMint.com today!
