2020 Australia $100 1-oz Gold Wedge Tailed Eagle High Relief Proof NGC PF70UC First Day of Issue w/Mercanti Signature

Australia’s 2020 Wedge-Tailed Eagle is Ready to Dive Into Your Collection

In 2014, John Mercanti and the Perth Mint made numismatic history with the introduction of the Wedge-Tailed Eagle Series. It was the first time that a former Chief Engraver of the United States Mint partnered with a foreign mint to create a legal-tender coin. Since then, Mercanti's skill in design and engraving combined with the Perth Mint's exceptional production quality has given flight to what has since become a beloved series the world over.

The Mercanti-Perth Mint partnership continues in 2020 with the release of a new one-year-only design that is sure to have particular appeal to collectors. For this year’s design, Mercanti, the 12th Chief Engraver at the U.S. Mint, has given us a close-up of Australia’s largest bird of prey as it prepares to dive for its next meal. Struck in fantastic high relief in a full ounce of highly-pure 99.99% gold, it’s a magnificent design that celebrates Australia's largest bird of prey – a design that could have originated only from the brilliant talents of John Mercanti!
