First released in 2014, Perth Mint’s Wedge-Tailed Eagle series has grown into one of our customers favorite series, with collectors anxiously awaiting each new, one-year-only design. At its inception, the series made history by being the first-ever collaboration between a foreign world mint and a former U.S. Mint Chief Engraver—the legendary John Mercanti. But time and again, the series has continued to earn its place in the history books with exciting new additions and enhancements.
In 2021, Mercanti presents us with his sixth design of the series. It’s a modern masterpiece, but Perth Mint took that beauty even further by making it their first-ever release struck in Enhanced Reverse Proof condition!
New, One-Year-Only Design
In 2019, Mercanti presented us with a highly detailed image of Australia’s largest bird of prey soaring through the skies in search of its next meal. In 2020, the design showed a close-up of that eagle as it opened its talons, preparing to dive. Now, in 2021, we see the Wedge-Tailed Eagle victorious, rising back into the sky with clutching a snake in its talons. The detail on the feathers is absolutely stunning—especially with this year’s first-ever Enhanced Reverse Proof finish!
This is the first release of 2021 and with this stunning new design they are sure to fly out of our vaults fast. Call Now!
First-Ever Enhanced Reverse Proof from Perth Mint—Struck in High Relief
Perth Mint marks an important milestone in their own history with this release, which marks the very first time they have struck a series of coins in Enhanced Reverse Proof condition. Normally, a Reverse Proof finish includes frosty fields and mirrored devices. But the Enhanced Reverse Proof finish presents us with multiple polished and frosted finishes applied to different elements of the design.
These varying finishes were applied to the Wedge-Tailed Eagles wing and tail feathers for an effect that’s simply stunning, especially since the coin additionally comes struck in High Relief condition, with a concave field that allows the design to rise high off of the coin’s surface. It’s unlike any Wedge-Tailed Eagle you’ve ever seen before, and a must-have for collectors!
Struck in 99.99% Silver or Gold
This release of 2021 Wedge-Tailed Eagle Enhanced Reverse Proof coins includes coins struck in one ounce of 99.99% fine silver or one ounce of 99.99% pure gold. These coins are official Australia legal tender, with face values of $1 and $100, respectively. This legal-tender status is an important benefit for many collectors, as it represents a government-backed guarantee for the coin’s weight and purity.
Flawless and First Day of Issue with Hand-Signed Labels
A select number of each limited mintage has been graded by Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) as flawless Proof-70 Ultra Cameo (PF70 UC) condition and sealed in protective display holders. Each of these holders features an exclusive label identifying the coin’s details, grade and special First Day of Issue (FDI) pedigree. This coveted designation is assigned only to coins that are received for grading within 24 hours of the mintage’s release.
In addition, each label will bear the hand-written signature of John Mercanti, 12th Chief Engraver of the U.S. Mint and the designer of the Wedge-Tailed Eagle series.
