2024 1 oz Silver Wedge-Tailed Eagle Colorized

NGC MS70 First Day of Issue | John Mercanti Australia Flag Signature | Top Population

Marking a decade of numismatic excellence, the Perth Mint celebrates the 10th Anniversary of the Wedge-Tailed Eagle bullion series with one of the most sought-after modern Australian silver issues ever released. Designed by John Mercanti, former Chief Engraver of the United States Mint, this series represents the first collaboration between a U.S. Mint Chief Engraver and a foreign mint, making it a true cross-continental landmark.

The 2024 anniversary design showcases a powerful wedge-tailed eagle soaring overhead with fully outstretched wings, viewed dramatically from below. The meticulously applied colorization brings Australia’s largest bird of prey to life with remarkable realism and depth. Each coin is struck from 1 troy ounce of .9999 fine silver and bears the special P125 mintmark, honoring the 125th Anniversary of the Perth Mint.

This issue is also historically significant as the first Wedge-Tailed Eagle coin to feature King Charles III on the obverse, further elevating its long-term collectability.

Adding to its prestige, this example is authentically hand-signed by John Mercanti and encapsulated by NGC with the coveted Australian Flag Signature Label, First Strike designation, and a perfect MS70 grade.
