10 years ago, John Mercanti, the 12th Chief Engraver of the U.S. Mint, teamed up with the Perth Mint to create the Wedge-Tailed Eagle series. It was the first time that a Chief Engraver of the United States Mint partnered with a foreign mint! The 2024 exclusive design depicts an eagle soaring with outstretched wings viewed from below. This design shows Australia's largest bird of prey in all its glory. Struck on a .9999 fine 1oz silver planchet and selectively plated in 24-karat gold, this piece is a collector's dream, especially as the 10th Anniversary issue! The namesake eagle bursts out of the coin with the stunning gold enhancement. The 2024 issue is the first in the series to have King Charles III's portrait on the obverse. This coin also has the P125 mintmark, an exclusive addition to 2024 coins to celebrate the 125th Anniversary of the Perth Mint.
This incredible enhanced piece has been signed by John Mercanti, the famed designer of the coin. The mintage was limited to 5,000 coins, and very few have the Mercanti signed Australian flag label and a perfect MS70 grade from NGC with the First Releases pedigree. Add an international bullion coin with an American designer’s flair to your collection today before it sells out for good!
