Australian Wedge-tailed Eagle 2018 2oz Silver Proof Piedfort Coin

Australia’s largest bird of prey 

Meaning ‘heavy weight’, piedforts were originally struck in France during the 12th century for presentation purposes. At twice the weight and thickness of other coins of the same diameter, the historic piedfort is a fittingly impressive canvas for John’s outstanding artistry.

Intimate family portrait

The 40.6mm coin is struck from 2oz of 99.99% pure silver to our renowned proof standard combining a mirror-like polished background with delicately frosted relief.

The coin’s reverse features Australia’s largest bird of prey with a touching family scene of a mother and father tending their new hatchling.
