2018 1oz Australia Emu .9999 Silver Coin (NGC MS69 One of First 600 Struck)

The Australian Emu is a large flightless bird that can trot great distances. Although emus have feathers, they cannot fly because their wings are too small. Emus are found throughout Australia in almost all habitat types and they feed mainly on grass, flowers, seeds, fruits and insects. The emu is the second-largest living bird by height, after the Ostrich.

Each coin is struck by The Perth Mint from 1oz of 99.99% pure silver, and issued as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965.
