2021 Australia $1 1-oz Silver Wedge Tailed Eagle NGC MS70 First Day of Production w/Flag Label & Mercanti Signature

Mercanti-Perth Mint Partnership Returns for the 2021 Wedge-Tailed Eagle

In 2014, John Mercanti and the Perth Mint made numismatic history with the introduction of the Wedge-Tailed Eagle Series. It was the 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.

New One-Year-Only Design

The Mercanti-Perth Mint partnership continues in 2021 with the release of a new one-year-only design that is sure to appeal to collectors. For this year’s design, Mercanti, the 12th Chief Engraver at the U.S. Mint, has given us a portrait of a magnificent Wedge-Tailed Eagle. Its sharp eyes are focused on its prey; a wriggling snake grasped tightly in the bird’s powerful talons. Struck in a full ounce of highly-pure 99.99% silver, it’s a magnificent design that celebrates Australia's largest bird of prey — a design that could have originated only from the brilliant talents of John Mercanti!
