The 2026 issue of the Wedge-Tailed Eagle was struck by The Perth Mint from 2 ounces of 99.99% pure silver in reverse proof and features a partial enhancement in 24-karat gold. The design of the Ultra High Relief silver coin was once again created in collaboration with renowned U.S. engraver John M. Mercanti and depicts the heads and upper neck areas of two wedge-tailed eagles in detailed execution. The motive is framed by the inscriptions “AUSTRALIAN WEDGE-TAILED EAGLE” and “2026 2oz 9999 SILVER”. Also integrated into the design is the traditional “P” mintmark of The Perth Mint. In addition to the central motive, the outer rim of the coin has also been gilded, giving this issue a particularly striking contrast. The reverse features the portrait of King Charles III, along with the denomination.

The wedge-tailed eagle is one of the largest birds of prey in the world and is regarded as one of Australia’s best-known eagle species. Its wings can reach a span of up to 2.7 metres. This impressive bird is primarily found in Australia and Tasmania, but also occurs in southern Papua New Guinea. It inhabits a variety of landscapes and feeds mainly on reptiles, birds and smaller mammals. The gilded Wedge-Tailed Eagle 2 oz Ultra High Relief silver coin is delivered in the original box including a numbered certificate of authenticity from The Perth Mint.
