2023 Wedge-Tailed Eagle 2oz Silver Proof High Relief Gilded

This extraordinary 2oz silver proof high relief gilded coin showcases an Australian Wedge-tailed Eagle. 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.

Each coin is struck by The Perth Mint from 2oz of 99.99% pure silver, with no more than 2,000 coins released. 

The coin’s design portrays a wedge-tailed eagle with outstretched wings standing on a branch. Together with the coin’s rims and serrated edge, the bird is gilded in 24-carat gold.
