Coin Design
The coin's reverse depicts an adult emu striding proudly with three chicks. The design also includes radial lines and The Perth Mint's "P125" mintmark to signify The Perth Mint's 125th anniversary. The obverse features the Dan Thorne effigy of His Majesty King Charles III with inscriptions CHARLES III, AUSTRALIA, 2oz, 9999 Ag and 2 DOLLARS.

The coins weigh two-ounces, struck as a piedfort. The word may be new to many, but piedforts have been struck for over half a millennium. During the Middle Ages, France and Great Britain minted coins of double thickness and weight for presentation purposes. The word "piedfort" literally translates to "heavy foot" in French; it alludes the coin's extra weight and metal content. While piedforts have existed for years, this is the first time the Perth Mint has issued a silver bullion coin in this special format.
