Soaring eagle
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 expansive wingspan of up to 2.5 metres, it has the ability to fly tirelessly for many hours and frequently reaches altitudes of 2,000 metres and beyond on thermal air currents rising from Australia’s sun-baked terrain.
High relief design
The coin portrays the magnificent raptor soaring high in the sky against a geometric pattern suggesting a sunburst. The bird is seen in exquisite detail with the added depth and fullness of a high relief strike. As well as the inscriptions ‘AUSTRALIAN WEDGE-TAILED EAGLE’ and ‘10TH ANNIVERSARY’, the reverse includes a ‘P125’ mintmark signifying The Perth Mint’s 125th anniversary.
H.M. King Charles III effigy
The obverse portrays the Dan Thorne effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, and the coin’s monetary denomination.
Presentation packaging
Accompanied by a numbered certificate of authenticity, the coin is housed in a deluxe timber display case within a themed, customised shipper.
