Story

Iconic eagle

Named for its long, distinctively shaped tail, the Australian wedge-tailed eagle has a wingspan of more than 2.5 metres. With the ability to fly tirelessly for many hours, it’s known to soar at altitudes of 2,000 metres and beyond on thermal air currents rising from Australia’s sun-baked terrain.

Gilded design

Portraying a wedge-tailed eagle with outstretched wings, the coin is struck in high relief with a superb proof quality finish. Adding further to the coin’s spectacular appearance, the eagle and the coins rims and serrated edge are painstakingly plated in pure platinum. The design includes the inscription ‘AUSTRALIAN WEDGE-TAILED EAGE’, The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark, and the coin’s weight, purity, and year-date.
