2020 Australia $1 1-oz Silver Wedge-Tailed Eagle High Relief Proof NGC Gem Proof w/Mercanti Signature

Australia’s 2020 Wedge-Tailed Eagle Is Coming In Hot!

In 2014, John Mercanti and the Perth Mint made numismatic history with the introduction of the Wedge-Tailed Eagle Series. It was the very first time that a former Chief Engraver of the United States Mint partnered with a foreign mint to create a legal-tender coin. Since then, Mercanti’s skill in design and engraving combined with the Perth Mint’s exceptional production quality has given flight to what has since become a beloved series the world over.

Close-Up View On 2020’s One-Year-Only Design

The Mercanti-Perth Mint partnership continues in 2020 with the release of a new one-year-only design that is sure to appeal to collectors. This 2020 release presents Mercanti’s fifth design of the series. This one-year-only reverse displays a close-up of the wedge-tailed eagle as it swoops in on its prey. The design pays particular attention to the detail in the eagle’s face and talons, displaying its grim determination in the midst of the hunt. Struck in fantastic high relief, this gorgeous coin measures 32.6 mm in diameter and features a magnificent design that celebrates Australia's largest bird of prey — a design that could have originated only through the brilliant talents of John Mercanti.
