Stunning Wedge-Tailed Eagle design by John Mercanti

Queen Elizabeth II's portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley serves as the design on the obverse. Rank-Broadley shows the monarch wearing a tiara. Inscriptions along the rim include the name of the woman depicted, "ELIZABETH II," "AUSTRALIA" and "8 DOLLARS."

On the reverse, a majestic wedge-tailed eagle stands perched on a tree branch. The proud figure is shown from the left but has its head turned to the right side of the coin in a pose that enables the holder to appreciate every aspect of its beauty.

Flawless Proof 70

The Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) awarded this coin their highest grade, Proof 70. That grade is only given to coins that lack even a single imperfection that can be seen under 5x magnification.
