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 a massive silver proof struck in a full kilogram of highly pure 99.99% silver!
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 $30 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.
The image is truly the prefect blend of design, precious metal, and collector appeal. What’s more, these have been struck in amazing 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 2023 Wedge Tailed Eagle design.
Flawless Proofs From Among The First Released
Plus, each coin available in this offer comes in gorgeous Proof condition crafted from hand-selected planchets, polished dies and multiple strikes to produce beautifully frosted details rising over mirror-like fields! In fact, each 2023 Silver Kilo Wedge-Tailed Eagle available here has been graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC) as being in flawless Proof-70 Ultra Cameo (PF70UC) 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! In addition, NGC has certified each coin available in this offer to be a First Day of Issue (FDI) coin, a designation that means they were received by NGC or an NGC-approved depository by the release date or on the business day within 24 hours of the official release date.
