Struck from 2oz of 99.99% pure silver, this coin marks the 10th anniversary of the Australian Wedge-tailed Eagle with another superb design by renowned US coin sculptor John M. Mercanti.

Named for its long, distinctively shaped tail, the wedge-tailed eagle is Australia’s largest bird of prey and one of the biggest eagles in the world. With an expansive wingspan of up to 2.5 metres, it has the ability to fly tirelessly for many hours and frequently reaches altitudes of 2,000 metres and beyond on thermal air currents rising from Australia’s sun-baked terrain.

DESIGN:

The coin portrays a coloured representation of a wedge-tailed eagle soaring. The image appears on a background featuring geometrically arranged elements that suggest a sunburst. As well as the inscriptions ‘AUSTRALIAN WEDGE-TAILED EAGLE’ and ‘10TH ANNIVERSARY’, the reverse includes a ‘P125’ mintmark signifying The Perth Mint’s 125th anniversary in 2024.

The coin’s obverse depicts the Dan Thorne effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, and the monetary denomination.

PRESENTATION:

The coin is housed on an illustrated collector card with a fold-out leg for upright display.
