Australian Wedge-Tailed Eagle 2021, 1 oz Silver Coin

Australian Wedge-Tailed Eagle - a coin inspired by the wildlife of Australia.

Specifically, the country's largest bird of prey. The popular silver investment coin debuted in 2014 and has since gained considerable popularity among collectors and investors around the world. The former are encouraged to buy by a limited mintage of just 50,000 copies. The coin's reverse is modified every year.

The 2021 coin depicts the eponymous Australian eagle. The bird hovers in the air, and in its talons it holds a freshly hunted prey. Responsible for the graphic design is the famous John Mercanti, whose initials were placed on the tail of the snake that fell prey to the predatory bird. The rim of the reverse features the name of the series, the year of issue, the coin's weight and the silver sample. The coin is Australia's official legal tender, so the obverse features the figure of the country's official monarch, Queen Elizabeth II. The face value of the coin is AUD 1.
