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 by its powerful legs which are feathered all the way to its feet. With the ability to fly tirelessly for many hours, the majestic wedge-tailed eagle frequently reaches altitudes of 2,000 metres and beyond on thermal air currents rising from Australia’s sun-baked terrain.

Design

Sculpted for The Perth Mint by renowned US engraver, John M. Mercanti, the coin’s reverse features a close-up-coloured depiction of the wedge-tailed eagle. Symbolizing its formidable hunting prowess, the design emphasizes the bird’s piercing, highly effective eyes, its powerful hooked beak, and the intricate detailing of its feathers. As well as the inscription ‘AUSTRALIAN WEDGE-TAILED EAGLE’ and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark, the reverse also includes the coin’s weight, fineness and its 2026 year-date.

Presentation

The coin in a capsule is embedded in a card.
