Distinctive eagle
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 impressive wingspan of up to 2.5 metres, it can also be recognised by its powerful legs which are feathered all the way to its feet. With the ability to fly tirelessly for many hours, the majestic wedge-tailed eagle frequently reaches altitudes of 2,000 meters and beyond on thermal air currents rising from Australia's sun-baked terrain.
Design
Ready to soar Sculpted for The Perth Mint by renowned US engraver, John M. Mercanti, the coin’s reverse portrays the wedge-tailed eagle with outstretched wings. Reflecting its formidable hunting skills, the artistry highlights the bird's large and superbly effective eyes and a large, hooked beak. As well as the inscription ‘AUSTRALIAN WEDGE-TAILED EAGLE’ and The Perth Mint's ‘P’ mintmark, the reverse also includes the coin’s weight, fineness and 2025 year-date.
Technical Information
The coin's ultra-high relief reverse is minted on a concave surface to ensure the optimum flow of metal is achieved by the strike of the die.
Presentation
Accompanied by a numbered certificate of authenticity, the coin is enclosed in a protective capsule and presented in a classic acrylic display case with a clear lid, and beautifully designed gilded card shipper.
