| Reverse description | A detailed naturalistic depiction of an adult emu standing alert on a coastal sand dune, its richly textured plumage rendered with exceptional engraving detail. Sparse coastal grasses and shrubs occupy the left foreground, while bird tracks are visible in the sand at the bird's feet. The background is divided between a sweeping seascape with breaking waves and a darkened sky above the horizon line, creating a dramatic chiaroscuro effect. The legend AUSTRALIAN EMU curves along the upper periphery against the darkened sky, and the inscriptions 1 OZ / 9999 GOLD appear along the lower arc; the Perth Mint series reference P125 is inscribed at the upper left of the field, with the engraver's initials IJ in the lower right field. |

| Additional information |
The Australian Emu bullion series has run intermittently since 1992, and the 2024 issue marks one of the first in the series to carry the Ian Rank-Broadley replacement portrait of Charles III — a transition that required all Commonwealth mints to recut their obverse dies following the Queen's death in September 2022. Perth was among the faster Commonwealth facilities to implement the new effigy across its bullion lines, though some series carried the changeover later than others depending on existing die stock.
