Bird of prey
The wedge-tailed eagle is a striking emblem of Australia’s vast landscapes. With a wingspan of up to 2.8 metres, it soars effortlessly on thermal currents, often reaching heights above 2,000 metres. Its distinctive wedge-shaped tail and feathered legs make it instantly recognisable as it surveys the terrain below. Found across mainland Australia and Tasmania, this powerful raptor captures the spirit of freedom and endurance in the Australian skies.
Regal eagle design
The coin’s design portrays the silhouette of a wedge-tailed eagle in the foreground and a bald eagle behind it, both gazing to the right. Included on the reverse is the inscription ‘AUSTRALIAN WEDGE-TAILED EAGLE’ and 2026 year-date.
This is the eleventh Australian Wedge-tailed eagle design for The Perth Mint by renowned American sculptor and engraver, John M. Mercanti. As 12th Chief Engraver of the US Mint, John Mercanti produced more coin and medal designs than any other employee in the organisation’s history.
Presentation packaging
