2021 Australia $2 2-oz Silver Wedge-Tailed Eagle Ultra High Relief Piedfort Proof

Double-Thick Ultra High Relief 2021 Silver Wedge-Tailed Eagles!

In 2019, Australia’s Wedge-Tailed Eagle soared through the skies looking for its next meal. In 2020, it dove, talons out, ready to capture its prey. And now in 2021, it’s mealtime! This latest design from John Mercanti, 12th Chief Engraver of the U.S. Mint, shows Australia’s largest bird of prey snatching up a snake in its claws.

New Mercanti’s Design Is An Instant Classic

This series has become a personal favorite of collectors around the world, both for the incredible Mercanti designs and its numismatic importance as the first-ever collaboration between a former U.S. Mint Chief Engraver and a foreign world mint. This magnificent double-thick Piedfort coin was struck in two ounces of highly pure 99.99% fine silver. It continues the series of the Perth Mint’s modern-day masterpieces with a Mercanti design that bears a similarity to Mexico’s classic Libertad Coin, only that coin features an eagle with a snake in its beak while this coin shows and even mightier-looking eagle clutching a snake in its vice-like talons. The image is truly the prefect blend of design, precious metal and collector appeal.

Ultra-High Relief Piedfort Wedge Tail Eagles — A FIRST For The Perth Mint

Plus, each coin available in this offer comes in gorgeous Proof condition, meaning they were expertly crafted by the mint from hand-selected planchets, polished dies and multiple strikes to produce beautifully frosted details rising over mirror-like fields! What’s more, these coins represent the first time ever that the Perth Mint has struck a two-ounce Piedfort proof in Ultra High Relief! The die used to strike the amazing detail was designed to produce a deep, concave field upon the surface of the coin for maximum contrast with the devices. This relief not only towers above the coin’s surface but creates a stunning effect to Mercanti’s new 2021 Wedge Tailed Eagle design.
