First-Ever Reverse Proof Wedge-Tailed Eagle

Introduced in 2014, the Wedge-Tailed Eagle series is the world’s first collaboration by a former United States Mint Chief Engraver and a foreign mint. This 2021 release marks the very FIRST Enhanced Reverse Proof Wedge-Tailed Eagle, as well as the FIRST-EVER Enhanced Reverse Proof coin struck by Australia’s Perth Mint!

New One-Year-Only Wedge-Tailed Eagle Design

This coin’s one-year-only design is the work of John Mercanti, 12th Chief Engraver of the U.S. Mint. Struck in a full ounce of highly pure 99.99% fine silver, it displays an Australian wedge-tailed eagle as it attacks its prey, clutching a snake in its talons. This legal-tender $1 coin’s incredible high relief features deep, concave fields that allow the design to pop even more spectacularly from the surface. The added artistry of the coin’s Enhanced Reverse Proof finish features a frosty field and a variety of polished and frosted finishes on the design. Unlike a regular Proof that consists of frosted details rising over mirror-like fields, a Reverse Proof is just the opposite with mirrored details rising over frosted fields.

Near-Perfect Proofs Personally Signed by the Coin’s Designer

In fact, each 2021 Australia One-Ounce Silver Wedge-Tailed Eagle High Relief Enhanced Reverse Proof available here has been graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) as being in near-perfect Proof-69 Ultra Cameo (PF69UC) condition, a distinction that means these almost-flawless coins will showcase impressive full strikes and indistinguishable imperfections — well above and beyond the quality of the vast majority of coins in the series. Plus, each coin here has been sonically sealed in an acrylic holder with an Australian Flag label that has been personally signed by John Mercanti! A giant in the numismatic world, Mercanti has produced more coin and medal designs than any person in U.S. Mint history!

The 2021 Australia One-Ounce Silver Wedge-Tailed Eagle High Relief Enhanced Reverse Proof has a limited worldwide mintage of Just 5,000 — and only a limited number have been come with a label hand-signed by designer John Mercanti. Don’t miss out, order yours today!
