Sculpted for The Perth Mint by renowned US engraver, John M. Mercanti, the coin’s reverse portrays the wedge- tailed eagle with outstretched wings. Reflecting its formidable hunting skills, the artistry highlights the bird’s large and superbly effective eyes and a large, hooked beak. 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 2025 year-date. The coin’s ultra high relief design portrays a standing wedge-tailed eagle with outstretched wings. The outer rim and image are gilded in 22-carat rose gold.
