2024 Wedge-Tailed Eagle 10th Anniversary 10oz Silver Proof
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.
Wedge-tailed eagles can be observed across mainland Australia and Tasmania in a variety of habitats from coastal to alpine regions. The birds favour lightly wooded country offering favourable nesting sites from which they have a clear view of their territory and ready access to prey including mammals such as rabbits and hares, as well as lizards, snakes and other birds. With the ability to fly tirelessly for many hours, the majestic wedgetailed eagle frequently reaches altitudes of 2,000 meters and beyond on thermal air currents rising from
Australia’s sunbaked terrain.
Struck by The Perth Mint from 10 ounces of 99.99% pure silver, no more than 700 of these coins will be released worldwide.
The coin’s reverse depicts eight illustrations of Australia’s largest bird of prey created by renowned US sculptor and engraver John M. Mercanti for Wedge-tailed Eagle coins issued between 2016 and 2024.
