Story

Fourth eagle flys

In his fourth design for the Australian Wedge-tailed Eagle coin series renowned engraver John M. Mercanti depicts a magnificent wedge-tailed eagle in flight with wings fully extended and stylised rays of sunlight in the background. This exquisitely detailed coin was designed by the former chief engraver of the US Mint and struck in The Perth Mint's celebrated high relief proof quality format.

Masterful coin design

The Perth Mint's renowned proof quality standard combined with a flawless high relief strike portrays the visionary design with outstanding clarity. 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.
