The Perth Mint's Wedge-Tailed Eagle series celebrates its 10th anniversary with an extraordinary release honoring the legacy of John Mercanti, the 12th Chief Engraver of the U.S. Mint. For the first time, all nine of Mercanti's iconic Wedge-Tailed Eagle designs are brought together on a single coin. Struck in 10 troy oz ounces of .9999 fine silver, this proof coin combines a decade of stunning designs into one breathtaking montage. With a worldwide mintage of just 700, this masterpiece is incredibly rare.

Coin Design

  • Obverse - The obverse features the the first definitive portrait of King Charles III on Australian coinage, designed by Dan Thorn. Above His Majesty the King sits a miniature version of Mercanti's first Wedge-Tailed Eagle design. This elegant nod to the original 2014 Wedge-Tailed Eagle is exclusive to proof issues released in 2024. The obverse inscriptions include "CHARLES III," AUSTRALIA," and "10 DOLLARS." 
  • Reverse -  The reverse, designed by John Mercanti, features a detailed montage of iconic Wedge-Tailed Eagle designs from the past decade. This masterful composition depicts eight detailed illustrations of Australia's largest bird of prey. The reverse also features a unique "P125" mintmark in honor of the Perth Mint's 125th anniversary. The reverse inscriptions include "AUSTRALIAN WEDGE-TAILED EAGLE," "2024," and "10oz 9999 SILVER."

Limited Mintage

The Perth Mint has limited this exclusive release to a worldwide mintage of just 700 coins.

First Day of Issue

Each 2024 10oz Proof Silver Wedge-Tailed Eagle is certified by NGC as First Day of Issue. NGC has also guaranteed that each proof coin is flawless with a mirror-like contrast and has given each coin a perfect grade of PF 70 ULTRA CAMEO. 

John Mercanti Signature

Each coin sonically sealed in NGC's secure holder with an exclusive Australian Flag label hand-signed by John Mercanti. Mercanti, 12th Chief Engraver of the U.S. Mint and designer of the Type 1 American Silver Eagle, is a legend in modern numismatics. He is one of the most prolific designers in U.S. Mint history and the first U.S. Mint engraver to design a coin for a foreign mint.

Wedge-Tailed Eagle Series

First introduced in 2014, the Wedge-Tailed Eagle series marked the first collaboration between Australia's Perth Mint and 12th Chief Engraver of the U.S. Mint John Mercanti. This marked the first time a U.S. Mint engraver designed a coin for a foreign mint. Since the series' inception, John Mercanti's designs have captured the grace, power, and majesty of Australia's largest bird of prey. Each release showcases a new perspective of the majestic bird.
