Australia’s 2023 Wedge-Tailed Eagle Is Ready To Dive Into Your Collection

First introduced in 2014, the Wedge-Tailed Eagle series is the world’s first collaboration by a former United States Mint Chief Engraver, John Mercanti, and a foreign mint, the world-renowned Perth Mint. With Mercanti’s vision and talent, accompanied by Perth Mint’s meticulous striking skills, the Wedge-Tailed Eagle was born! This is the tenth Wedge-Tailed Eagle release and the eighth Mercanti design in the series—and here you can secure the latest release as an incredible bi-metal proof struck in pure gold and silver!

This unique bi-metal coin was struck by the artisans at the Perth Mint as only they can. Each coin features an inner core of 3/4-ounce of 99.99% pure gold surrounded by an outer ring of 3/4-ounce of highly pure 99.95% silver. Plus, the eagle and its individual highlights outside the inner core have been gilded in 24-karat gold! When you turn this coin over in your hands and marvel at its beauty and contrast between the deep gold color offset by the shimmering silver, you’ll understand why the Perth Mint’s reputation for innovation and producing coins of superior quality is unsurpassed.

Exquisite One-Year-Only Design Is An Instant Mercanti Classic

This coin’s one-year-only design is yet another incredible masterpiece from John Mercanti, 12th Chief Engraver of the U.S. Mint. The $75 Australian legal-tender coin features an intricately designed image of the Wedge Tailed Eagle. With wings stretching to more than seven-and-a-half feet, Wedge Tail Eagles have one of the longest wingspans of any eagle in the entire world. The detail is so exquisite you can see every feather from the bird’s gigantic wings to its powerful fully feathered legs. The image is truly the prefect blend of design, precious metal, and collector appeal. This series from the Perth Mint is a collectors-favorite, both for the incredible Mercanti designs and for its numismatic importance as the first-ever collaboration between a former U.S. Mint Chief Engraver and a foreign world mint.

Your 2023 Wedge-Tailed Eagle 1.5-Ounce Gold & Silver Bi-Metal Proof has been graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC) as being in flawless Proof-70 (PF70) condition, a distinction that means your perfectly-graded proof will have ZERO imperfections—showing all features and fields exactly as the engraver and mint intended!
