The Australian Emu

The emu is a natural choice for the launch of a new Perth Mint annual-release coin series. The bird's habitat includes the greater portion of Australia's mainland. It is also the largest native Australian bird, second in height only to the (non-native) ostrich. And like the ostrich in that they are both flightless birds.

The emu's uniqueness as a native Australian bird has earned it somewhat of an iconic status, as demonstrated by the country's Coat of Arms that displays the Red Kangaroo on the left and the Emu on the right.
