Comment

Emperor Penguins are a species endemic to the Australian Antarctic Territory. Found across Antarctica, the stately and flightless Emperor Penguin is the largest of all penguins, growing to around a metre and weighing up to 45 kilograms.

These magnificent birds are celebrated on the Royal Australian Mint’s new 2023 $100 1oz Gold Investment Coin. Featuring stately Emperor Penguin with chick standing at the edge of the Antarctic ice

This eye-catching coin is struck to a brilliant uncirculated finish and comes in an attractive presentation case.

This coin features a parent and offspring standing at the edge of the Antarctic ice. Behind them a queue of Emperor Penguins approaches the ocean, to a backdrop of the ice floes.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design of an Emperor Penguin, which is the sixth portrait of Queen Elizabeth II to be featured on an Australian coin. This design was created by artist Ian Rank-Broadley and was specifically chosen to highlight the majesty and grace of the Emperor Penguin, which is the largest penguin species in the world. The coin's gold content and detailed design make it a valuable and collectible item for coin enthusiasts and wildlife enthusiasts alike.
