2025 $1 Australian Wedge-Tailed Eagle 1oz Silver High Relief Reverse Proof Coin

With a wingspan of up to 2.5 metres, the distinctive raptor is easily identified by its wedge-shaped tail and legs feathered down to its feet. Observed throughout mainland Australia and in the island state of Tasmania, it can soar tirelessly for hours at altitudes of 2,000 metres and beyond on thermal air currents rising from Australia’s sun-baked terrain. The coin’s ultra high relief design portrays a standing wedge-tailed eagle with outstretched wings. Included on the reverse is the inscription ‘AUSTRALIAN WEDGE-TAILED EAGLE’ and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark.
