| Reverse description | A vibrant coloured scene depicting an adult emu standing in the centre of the field, its shaggy brown plumage rendered in meticulous detail against a vivid outback sunset. A large orange-red sun dominates the upper background beneath a turquoise and violet sky, with rolling green and ochre plains receding to the horizon. Five striped emu chicks are depicted in various animated poses at the feet of the adult bird, conveying a strong sense of movement and family. The legend AUSTRALIAN EMU arcs along the upper border, while the inscription 2026 1OZ 9999 SILVER appears along the lower rim. The Perth Mint's P mintmark appears to the left of the central design, and the engraver's initials NH for Natasha Hodgson are located to the right. |

| Additional information |
The Australian Emu dollar series has run in various formats since the 1990s, but the transition to Charles III obverses required new portrait authorisation from the Royal Mint in London before any Commonwealth issuer could proceed — a procedural formality that nonetheless delayed several planned releases across multiple mints. This is among the earlier Perth Mint issues to carry the first official effigy of Charles III, sculpted by Dominique Evard and approved for use across Australian coinage.
