What do we pay for a silver Emu?
Based on the silver rate of this moment, €1.75 per gram of fine material. As of:
| Variant | Fine silver | Total weight | We pay |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 oz | 31.104 g | — | €53.25 |
This price applies regardless of the year and the mint. With a rare year or exceptional condition the collector’s value can be higher than the material value – then we say so, even if that means you are better off not selling us the coin.
How we arrive at this amount
A coin is precious metal in a recognisable shape. What it fetches therefore depends almost entirely on the fine weight: the weight of pure silver it contains.
This coin is 999.9‰ pure, so the fine weight and the total weight are almost the same.
Every year the Emu shows a different scene. That means the year can be read from the design before you even look for the date.
Not sure whether your coin is genuine? We check weight, diameter, thickness and – if in doubt – the density with X-ray analysis. Non-destructive: your coin stays intact.

A young series beside the classics
The Emu joined the Perth Mint’s regular bullion coins in 2018, alongside the Kangaroo, the Kookaburra and the Koala. It is struck in a far smaller mintage than the Kangaroo and changes design every year.
What the valuer does
Weighing, measuring and testing the fineness, while you watch. An Emu weighs one troy ounce and consists almost entirely of silver, so the valuer sees any deviation in weight or size immediately.
If you are bringing a tube or several years, let us know in advance. Then there is enough time and liquidity ready.

Do not polish it

Yes, every year from 2018. The silver weight is always the same.
