The Wedge-tailed eagle is a striking emblem of Australia’s vast landscapes. With a wingspan of up to 2.8 metres, it soars effortlessly on thermal currents, often reaching heights above 2,000 metres.

Its distinctive wedge-shaped tail and feathered legs make it instantly recognisable as it surveys the terrain below. Found across mainland Australia and Tasmania, this powerful raptor captures the spirit of freedom and endurance in the Australian skies.

Design

Sculpted by renowned US engraver, John M. Mercanti, the coin’s enhanced ultrahigh relief design portrays a silhouette of a Wedge-tailed eagle in the foreground and a Bald eagle behind it, facing the same direction.

Included on the reverse is the inscription ‘AUSTRALIAN WEDGE-TAILED EAGLE’ and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark, along with the coin’s weight, fineness and 2026 year-date.
