The antique finish coin in color was struck from 2 ounces of 99.99% pure silver and bears the title Emu Utingat. "Utingat" is the name for “emu” in the language of the Kalkadoon, an Aboriginal tribe living in Queensland. The motive features a colorful depiction of an adult emu, which appears to be looking at a large feather, and three young animals in the style of an oil painting by Chern'ee Sutton, a contemporary Aboriginal artist and proud Kalkadoon woman. The background consists of colored dots that abstractly depict the sun, two hills and a river through which emu footprints run. The emu is Australia's largest native bird. In Aboriginal Dreamtime stories, the emu is believed to have traveled the Songlines or Dreaming Tracks in search of food and water. It is therefore generally regarded as a symbol of strength and endurance. Its feathers have been used for generations for decorations, tools and ceremonies. The design is completed by the mintmark “P” and the year of issue 2025. The reverse shows the Dan Thorne portrait of King Charles III as well as the weight, fineness and denomination. The 2 ounce Emu Utingat antique finish silver coin in color is delivered in the original box including a numbered certificate of authenticity from the Perth Mint.
