Story

Soaring eagle

This wonderfully detailed release showcases the impressive wingspan and plumage of the wedge-tailed eagle, Australia’s largest bird of prey and one of the biggest eagles in the world. Struck in brilliant high relief, the masterfully crafted design is the fourth in The Perth Mint’s Wedge-tailed Eagle series by celebrated former US Mint chief engraver John M. Mercanti.

The coin’s reverse depicts a magnificent wedge-tailed eagle in flight with wings fully extended and stylised rays of sunlight in the background. The design also includes the inscription ‘AUSTRALIAN WEDGE-TAILED EAGLE’, the 2019 year-date, the weight and fineness, and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark.
