Named for its long, distinctively shaped tail, the wedge-tailed eagle is Australia’s largest bird of prey and one of the biggest eagles in the world. With an impressive wingspan of up to 2.5 meters, it can also be recognised from its long, powerful legs which are feathered all the way to its feet.

The Australian Wedge-tailed Eagle 2025 1oz Silver Coloured Coin in Card is struck by The Perth Mint from 99.99% pure silver with a mintage of only 2,500 coins worldwide.

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 WEDGETAILED EAGLE' and The Perth Mint's 'P' mintmark, the reverse also includes the coin's weight, fineness and its 2025 year-date.
