Wedge Tailed Eagle 2017, Series 1 oz Silver Wedge Tailed Eagle Proof $1, 2017

Series: Wedge Tailed Eagle 1oz Silver Proof

The wedge-tailed eagle has been the subject of the Perth Mint's outstanding series designed by John M. Mercanti since 2014 and is Australia's largest bird of prey. The coin features a dramatic image of a swooping wedge-tailed eagle with a snake in its talons. A first for The Perth Mint, the bird's lustrous ultra-high relief art is particularly proud of the coin's delicate matte finish. The reverse also features The Perth Mint’s “P” mintmark. The coin will be shipped with a numbered certificate of authenticity and a presentation box.
