Soar into the skies with this spectacular 2026 Australian Wedge-tailed Eagle coin — a true masterpiece of modern minting. Australia’s largest bird of prey, the wedge-tailed eagle commands the outback with its massive 2.5-metre wingspan and effortless ability to ride thermal currents to altitudes of over 2,000 metres. Sculpted by legendary American engraver John M. Mercanti (former Chief Engraver of the United States Mint), the reverse presents a powerful dual-eagle portrait: the iconic Australian wedge-tailed eagle in the foreground, with the American bald eagle rising behind it. Both birds gaze resolutely to the right, creating a striking visual dialogue between two of the world’s most revered birds of prey — symbols of strength, freedom, and national pride from opposite sides of the Pacific.

Struck from two full ounces of 99.99% pure silver in enhanced reverse proof ultra-high relief on a specially prepared concave surface, the design is further elevated by selective 24-carat gold gilding applied to the eagles and the outer rim. Limited to just 1,000 coins worldwide, this impressive piece is presented in a classic black Perth Mint display case with a matching illustrated shipper.
