I like eagles. The high relief on this coin makes it look spectacular. It goes well with my 2 ounce gold Australian eagle coin.
Each comes in a Perth Mint presentation case with a mint-numbered certificate of authenticity.
Australia’s largest bird of prey, the majestic Wedge-tailed Eagle, is known to soar through the sky for hours on end, frequently reaching altitudes of up to 2,000 metres. In the heat of the day, the eagle makes use of hot thermal air currents that drift up from the ground to reach these dizzying heights, whilst expending little energy.
Each coin is struck by The Perth Mint from 1oz of 99.9% pure silver in proof quality.
The Perth Mint commissioned American sculptor and engraver, John M Mercanti, the 12th Chief Engraver of the United States Mint, to create the 2014 Australian Wedge-Tailed Eagle design.
Each coin’s reverse depicts an impressive Wedge-Tailed Eagle in mid-flight as it prepares to land on a tree branch. The design also includes the inscription AUSTRALIAN WEDGE-TAILED EAGLE, the 2014 year-date and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark.
Each coin is issued as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965 and features the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, and the monetary denomination, on the obverse.
The Perth Mint will issue no more than 10,000 of the 2015 Australian Wedge-Tailed Eagle 1oz Silver Proof High Relief Coin.
Each coin is housed in a grey presentation case with a themed, customised shipper and is accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
