Product Description:
We are is pleased to present the Australian Wedge-Tailed Eagle 2025 Silver Coloured Coin.
Named for its long, distinctively shaped tail, yhe 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 meters, it can be also be recognised by its powerful legs which are feathered all the way to its feet. With teh 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-backed terrain.
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 its 2025 year-date.
John M. Mercanti is the 12th Chief Engraver of th US Mint and has produced more coin and medal designs than any other employee in the organisation's history
