          Australian Wedge-tailed Eagle 10th Anniversary 2024 $1 1oz Silver Proof High Relief Gilded Coin – Australia – Perth Mint

          Struck from 1oz of 99.99% pure silver, this meticulously gilded high relief coin marks the 10th anniversary of the Australian Wedge-tailed Eagle with another superb design by renowned US coin sculptor John M. Mercanti.

          Key features:

          • Proof quality 99.99% pure silver
          • Gilded high relief portrayal
          • Special ‘P125’ anniversary mintmark
          • Eagle privy mark
          • Australian legal tender

          Named for its long, distinctively shaped tail, the wedge-tailed eagle is Australia’s largest bird of prey and one of the biggest eagles in the world. With an expansive wingspan of up to 2.5 metres, it has the ability to fly tirelessly for many hours and frequently reaches altitudes of 2,000 metres and beyond on thermal air currents rising from Australia’s sun-baked terrain.

          Gilded high relief design

          The coin portrays the magnificent raptor soaring high in the sky against a geometric pattern suggesting a sunburst. Gilded in 24-carat gold, the bird is seen in exquisite detail with the added depth and fullness of a high relief strike. As well as the inscriptions ‘AUSTRALIAN WEDGE-TAILED EAGLE’ and ‘10TH ANNIVERSARY’, the reverse includes a ‘P125’ mintmark signifying The Perth Mint’s 125th anniversary.
