The Perth Mint has revealed the 2025 Emu Utingat Coin, the fourth release in its Indigenous coin series, unveiled during a special NAIDOC Week celebration.

This year's coin marks a significant milestone as The Perth Mint partners for the first time with contemporary artist Chern'ee Sutton, a proud Kalkadoon woman whose talent has earned international recognition.

Ms Sutton's work has been commissioned by local, state and federal governments, with two of her artworks holding the honour of inclusion in the Royal Collection at Buckingham Palace.

The coin's launch was marked by a moving ceremony in The Perth Mint forecourt gardens.

Guests were welcomed with an Acknowledgement of Country, followed by a smoking ceremony, and a dance performance by Corroboree for Life, creating "an atmosphere of respect and cultural celebration", the Mint said.

Ms Sutton travelled from Bundaberg, Queensland to attend the launch and met with customers and signed certificates, turning their collectables into true treasures.

The 2025 design celebrates the emu, known as 'Utingat' in the Kalkadoon language, Australia's largest and most iconic native bird. The artwork captures the emu's spiritual journey through life and the diverse landscapes and communities it calls home. The 2oz silver antiqued coloured coin has a limited mintage of 2,000.

Ms Sutton said it was an amazing project to bring to life.

"I'm so incredibly proud to have collaborated with The Perth Mint to create this limited-edition Emu Utingat coin," she said.

"It's such an honour to see my artwork featured in this way, the colours and design came up so beautifully on the silver coin and to have it launched during NAIDOC Week makes it even more special."

The Perth Mint General Manager Minted Products Neil Vance was confident collectors would love the new design.

"Our Indigenous coin series is one that we are very proud of and one that continues to resonate with our customers worldwide, achieving sell-out status each year," he said.

"We approach each collaboration with deep respect and dedication to ensure First Nations stories are authentically told and embraced.

"We thank Chern'ee for her vibrant design which brings together culture, creativity and connection."

The Mint said the launch during NAIDOC Week reflects their "commitment to recognising and celebrating the culture and contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people".
