When the first Australian Wedge-Tailed Eagle coins were released, history was made. Never before had a former U.S. Chief Engraver partnered with a world mint to create a brand-new legal-tender coin. And it wasn't just any former U.S. Chief Engraver, but the legendary John Mercanti, designer of the famous American Eagle Silver Dollar reverse and the man who has designed more coins and medals than any other U.S. Chief Engraver in history.

In just five years, it has become one of Perth Mint’s best-selling series, especially with collectors in the United States. And with good reason! As you can see, the results from this historic collaboration are stunning. Mercanti is a master coin designer—and the new 2020 Wedge-Tailed Eagle may be his finest work to date.

New, One-Year-Only Design
For 2020’s one-year-only design, Mercanti gives us an incredibly intricate, close-up look at Australia’s largest bird of prey as it prepares to dive for its next meal. It’s as exciting as it is beautiful, especially when you can secure it for your collection in one of these elite presentations. These are the final Wedge-Tailed Eagle releases of 2020, and they’re the top of the line!

Struck in Silver, Gold & as a Beautiful Bimetal Proof
Returning at the request of collectors around the world, this elite selection of Wedge-Tailed Eagles includes a high relief proof struck in 10 ounces of 99.99% fine silver, a massive 75.6-millimeter-diameter gold proof struck in a full kilogram of 99.99% pure gold, and a stunning bimetal proof struck in 0.75 ounces of 99.99% pure gold surrounded by a ring containing 0.75 grams of 99.95% pure platinum!

Struck in Proof condition, each Australian legal-tender coin displays a mirrored shine thanks to the highly polished fields, while the designs feature razor-sharp features and a frosty finish.

Flawless and First Day of Issue with Hand-Signed Labels
A select number of each limited mintage has been graded by Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) as flawless Proof-70 Ultra Cameo (PF70 UC) condition and sealed in protective display holders. Each of these holders features an exclusive label identifying the coin’s details, grade and special First Day of Issue (FDI) pedigree. This coveted designation is assigned only to coins that are received for grading within 24 hours of the mintage’s release.

In addition, each label will bear the hand-written signature of John Mercanti, 12th Chief Engraver of the U.S. Mint and the designer of the Wedge-Tailed Eagle series.

World Exclusive Limited Availability
We are proud to be the exclusive distributor of all 2020 Wedge-Tailed Eagle coins outside of Australia. But while this release is exclusive, it is also exceptionally limited. Just 500 silver, 150 bimetal and a mere 10 gold Wedge-Tailed Eagles have been authorized. Even fewer are available certified by NGC as PF70 UC and FDI and come sealed with Mercanti’s hand-written signature.
