2023 Australia $1 1-oz Silver Wedge Tailed Eagle BU

The 2023 Wedge-Tailed Eagle Spreads Its Wings!

Australia’s Wedge-Tailed Eagle Series is back in 2023 for a tenth consecutive year with the eighth design from John Mercanti, 12th Chief Engraver of the United States Mint. This year’s design shows Australia’s largest bird of prey in a majestic portrait alighting on a branch as its spreads it massive, long & broad wings. 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.

New Mercanti’s Design Is An Instant Classic

Like past year’s releases, this 2023-dated coin is struck in a full ounce of highly pure 99.99% fine silver. It continues the series of the Perth Mint’s modern-day masterpieces with a Mercanti design that 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. Plus, each coin available in this offer comes in gorgeous Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) condition with razor-sharp details as fresh and crisp as the day it left the mint!
