A coin with some oxides, a capsule, a CoA, a case, a presentation box (please, check photos).
The 2012 Australian $1 silver proof coin from the Australian Map Shaped Coin Series celebrates the emu, one of the country’s most recognizable and iconic native birds. Struck in 1 oz of .999 fine silver by the Perth Mint, this coin combines numismatic craftsmanship with distinctive design and natural symbolism.
The reverse shows a finely detailed emu standing against a vividly colored outback background with desert vegetation and clear blue skies. The coin is uniquely struck in the shape of the Australian continent, making it instantly distinguishable among collectors. Inscriptions include EMU, the weight and purity 1 oz 999 SILVER, and the year 2012, along with the Perth Mint’s “P” mintmark. The obverse features the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank-Broadley, surrounded by the inscriptions ELIZABETH II • AUSTRALIA 2012 • 1 DOLLAR.
The emu, a flightless bird and national symbol, is paired with the kangaroo on Australia’s coat of arms, representing forward progress. This limited-edition Proof coin unites wildlife art with investment-grade silver, making it a sought-after piece in the collectible Map Shaped Series.
