2023 Wedge-Tailed Eagle 1oz Silver High Relief Incused

This majestic Wedge-tailed Eagle silver coin, featuring artistry prepared exclusively for The Perth Mint by renowned US designer John M. Mercanti, showcases an incused reverse design.

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 impressive wingspan of up to 2.5 metres, it can also be recognised from its long, powerful legs which are feathered all the way to its feet.

Wedge-tailed eagles can be observed across mainland Australia and Tasmania in a variety of habitats from coastal to alpine regions. The birds favour lightly wooded country offering favourable nesting sites from which they have a clear view of their territory and ready access to prey including reptiles and small mammals.

The Australian Wedge-tailed Eagle 2023 1oz Silver Incused Coin is struck by The Perth Mint from 99.99% pure silver and portrays an incused representation of a wedge-tailed eagle with outstretched wings standing on a branch.
