2026 $100 Australian Wedge-Tailed Eagle 1oz Gold High Relief Reverse Proof Coin

The Wedge-tailed eagle is a striking emblem of Australia’s vast landscapes. Its distinctive wedge-shaped tail and feathered legs make it instantly recognisable as it surveys the terrain below. Found across mainland Australia and Tasmania, this powerful raptor captures the spirit of freedom and endurance in the Australian skies.  Sculpted for The Perth Mint by renowned US engraver, John M. Mercanti, the coin’s enhanced ultra- high relief design portrays a silhouette of a Wedge-tailed eagle in the foreground and a Bald eagle behind it, both gazing to the right.
