Australian Emu (2025) - 1 Oz - Silver Investment Coin

The second largest bird in the world

The emu is found only in Australia and is the second largest bird in the world. Although it has small wings that are not suitable for flight, it makes up for it with its powerful long legs that allow it to sprint at speeds of up to 50 km per hour.

The unique male emu protects and incubates its eggs for eight weeks and rarely leaves the nest to eat and drink. Baby emus are born with distinctive brown stripes for camouflage and become independent around seven months of age.
