Coin comes with certificate, box and cardboard box
It is absolutely as new and is number 349 of 1144
The Perth Mint 1 oz Palladium Proof Emu Coin 1996 is one of the scarcer modern Perth Mint collector coins and has become highly sought after by both bullion and numismatic collectors.
Key details:
- 1 troy oz of .9995 palladium
- Face value: AUD $40
- Proof finish with presentation case and certificate
- Actual proof mintage: only 1,144 coins
- Part of the short-lived 1995–1997 proof palladium Emu series
The Perth Mint’s own mintage records confirm the 1996 proof issue had a maximum authorised mintage of 2,500, but only 1,144 were actually sold.
The reason these trade well above palladium spot value is:
- very low surviving numbers,
- many palladium coins were reportedly melted during late-1990s palladium shortages,
- and the series was discontinued after only a few years.
