2021 Perth Mint Wedge-Tailed Eagle Silver Coin - 1oz
Australia’s largest bird of prey, the Wedge-tailed Eagle, has been masterfully captured in a series of iconic designs by legendary US engraver John M. Mercanti for The Perth Mint since 2014.
Found across the entire continent, this majestic raptor is easily recognised by its wedge-shaped tail and feathered legs. It typically inhabits open or lightly wooded landscapes, hunting for prey such as rabbits, hares, lizards, and snakes.
Struck from 1oz of 99.99% pure silver, this exceptional 2021 release showcases Mercanti’s sixth design in the acclaimed series.
The reverse depicts the powerful eagle in flight, clutching a snake in its talons. Also featured are the coin’s weight, purity, year-date, and The Perth Mint’s signature ‘P’ mintmark.
With a maximum mintage of just 50,000, this limited-edition coin includes a micro-laser engraved authentication feature. Hidden within the inscription ‘AUSTRALIAN WEDGE-TAILED EAGLE’, a tiny letter—visible only under magnification—confirms its genuine origin.
