Spectacular 2024 Australian Tenth Anniversary Wedge-Tailed Eagle Proofs
Perfect Proofs, with Sought-After Designations and John Mercanti Signature Labels!
Wedge-Tailed Eagle releases from Australia’s Perth Mint, featuring reverse designs by numismatic legend John Mercanti, have been spectacular since the very first one was released in 2014. And that trend continues with this 2024 edition—for the coin’s TENTH ANNIVERSARY. It’s stunning! Not only that, here you have your choice of Wedge-Tailed Eagles in five ounces of pure gold, three ounces of pure silver—the first-ever for a Wedge-Tailed Eagle—or a high-purity bimetal coin consisting of .75 ounce pure gold and .75 ounce fine platinum for a total weight of 1.5 ounces!
The History-Making Collaboration Continues
Numismatic history was made with the introduction of the Wedge-Tailed Eagle because it was the first time ever that a former U.S. Mint Chief Engraver (John Mercanti) teamed up with a foreign mint (Australia’s Perth Mint) to create a coin. It’s no wonder the mint turned to coin designer extraordinaire Mercanti—who created the Heraldic Eagle design that appeared on the U.S. Mint’s Silver Eagle for the first 35 years—since Wedge-Tailed Eagles are thought of by many as Australia’s version of America’s Silver Eagles.
Beginning with the first release, the response among collectors worldwide was overwhelming, and now, with this Tenth Anniversary edition, the Australia Wedge-Tailed Eagle series continues to be among the most anticipated releases each year, for collectors all around the globe.
Struck in High-Purity Gold, Silver and Platinum
These 2024 Wedge-Tailed Eagle coins are struck in in five ounces of high-purity 99.99% gold ($500 Australia legal tender), three ounces of high-purity 99.99% fine silver ($3 legal tender) for the first time in the Wedge-Tailed Eagle series, and in 1.5 ounces of Bimetal, consisting of .75 ounce of 99.99% gold and .75 ounce of 99.95% fine platinum.


Spectacular New Mercanti Wedge-Tailed Eagle
This next chapter in the story depicts a majestic, highly detailed Wedge-Tailed Eagle soaring in the sky, decorated by stylized sun rays, in impressive high relief on the 5 oz. gold. The obverse portrays the VERY FIRST definitive portrait of King Charles III on the Wedge-Tailed Eagles. The dies are designed to create a deep concave field upon the surface of a coin for maximum contrast with the elements of the designs—requiring the use of increased pressure in striking and multiple strikes.
Additionally, each coin is inscribed “10th Anniversary” and features a “P125” mint mark in honor of the Perth Mint’s 125th Anniversary, replacing the traditional Perth Mint mint mark. AND, these proofs have a miniature design of the first, 2014 Wedge Tailed Eagle coin at the top of the obverse, which will only appear on 2024 Wedge-Tailed Eagle Proofs!
Proofs Are Struck to A Higher Standard of Quality
The exquisite proof finish offers a much higher standard of beauty, quality, and craftsmanship than coins with non-proof finishes. Proof planchets (blanks) are specially treated, hand-polished, and cleaned to ensure high-quality strikes, then fed into presses fitted with specially polished dies and struck multiple times, unlike non-proofs which are struck only once. The extra strikes give proofs a glamorous shine and make intricate, razor-sharp details of the design pop against polished, mirror-like fields. While non-proofs are struck on high-speed presses by the thousands, these proofs are struck individually by highly skilled artisans creating numismatic masterpieces.
Certified Flawless PF70 UC and First Day of Issue by NGC
Proofs and coins are graded on a 70-point scale, with a grade of 70 representing absolute perfection, even under magnification. There is no higher grade, and that’s what you have here. These 2024 Wedge-Tailed Eagle Proofs have been certified as perfect Proof-70 (PF70) by Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC), one of the top coin-grading services in the world. The gold and silver Wedge-Tailed Eagles also feature an Ultra Cameo (UC) designation from NGC that signifies these coins possess an intense frosted finish on both sides of the coin, with highly polished fields accenting the raised elements.
Each Proof also carries a First Day of Issue (FDI) designation—which means these select coins were purchased within one day of the first day of the mint release. First Day of Issue proofs are sought-after because they are fresh and sharp, struck using fresh dies, and because there are so few of them compared to the overall population.
These Wedge-Tailed Eagle Proofs are not just the best of the best, they’re the first of the best.


Exclusive John Mercanti Hand-Signed Signature Labels
Each of these perfect, flawless coins comes sonically sealed with an exclusive Australian Flag label with a hand-signed signature from the reverse designer, John Mercanti. Mercanti, the former 12th Chief Engraver of the U.S. Mint, is the man who created more coin and medal designs than any other employee of the U.S. Mint.
