The Perth Mint has currently struck the Wedge-Tailed Eagle for the fifth time with a thickness of 6.42 mm in Piedfort quality. Piedfort means the double thickness of a regular coin of the same weight and metal. The motive features the seventh Wedge-Tailed Eagle design of the famous engraver John M. Mercanti. The Piedfort silver coin depicts a close-up of the head of a Wedge-Tailed Eagle - Australia's largest bird of prey. The detailed design highlights the eagle's plumage, eyes and large, hooked beak. In addition the inscriptions "AUSTRALIAN WEDGE-TAILED EAGLE", "2022 2oz 9999 SILVER" and the traditional Mintmark "P" of the Perth Mint are included in the design. The reverse shows the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the denomination. The limited High Relief Wedge-Tailed Eagle Piedfort Coin in Reverse Proof is delivered in the original box including a numbered certificate of authenticity from the Perth Mint.
