2020 Australia $1 1-oz Silver Emu Proof

Australia’s Silver Emu Is Back for a Third Year

In 2018 when Australia’s world-renowned Perth Mint added the Emu to its annual stable of silver proof issues that was already home to the Kookaburra and Koala series it was met with almost instant success. Collectors were so enthused by the release that the entire mintage quickly sold out! 2019 followed suit and now the third-year 2020 Silver Emu Proof coins have arrived. And with a mintage of just 2,500, collectors who want one may soon find themselves struggling to get one!

This design for this year’s 2020 Australia One-Ounce Silver Australian Emu Proof features a pair of emus resting near a body of water in the Australian outback. Emus are the second tallest birds in the world and the only ones with calf muscles, allowing them to outdistance predators with strides as long as 9 feet when running at a top speed of more than 30 miles per hour. The two birds on this 99.99% pure silver coin are taking a break from running, however, so you can admire all the incredible detail in their bushy, primitive feathers.

Don’t be among those collectors who miss out on this immensely popular silver proof issue. Each comes in its original government packaging that consists of a classic display case with a clear acrylic lid slipped inside a themed shipper and accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
