The Perth Mint has taken the Wedge Tailed Eagle to new heights. For the first time in the series, they are adding a piedfort proof with a thickness of 6.42mms - over 1/4 an inch thick ! - Piedfort means the double thickness of a regular coin of the same weight and metal. Designed by the 12th Chief Engraver of the U.S. Mint, John Mercanti, this stunning silver coin features a family of Australian Wedge-tailed Eagles. The year '2018', the weight '2oz', the purity '9999 SILVER' and Perth Mint’s traditional 'P' mintmark are included in the design. The coin's obverse depicts the profile of the oldest reigning Monarch, Queen Elizabeth II. - Also included are the denomination '2 DOLLARS' and the country of issue 'AUSTRALIA'. Specially manufactured, with selected planchets (blanks), these coins rarely enter circulation. The coin made of two ounces silver is accompanied by a numbered certificate of authenticity and comes in a Perth Mint presentation case.
