The Australian Wedge-Tailed Eagle Series

First introduced in 2014, this groundbreaking program was the first time a U.S. Mint engraver designed a coin for a foreign mint. Since then, the series has become a standout in modern coinage. Mercanti's evolving artistic vision has showcased the wedge-tailed eagle in a wide range of powerful poses—from soaring profiles to striking close-ups. With limited mintages and a legendary design pedigree, this series continues to soar in popularity across the globe.
