2023 Australia $2 2-oz Silver Wedge-Tailed Eagle Gilded High Relief Piedfort Proof NGC PF70UC First Releases

The 2023 Wedge-Tailed Eagle Spreads Its Wings On First Ever Gold-Gilded High Relief Piedfort!

First introduced in 2014, the Wedge-Tailed Eagle series is the world’s first collaboration by a former United States Mint Chief Engraver, John Mercanti, and a foreign mint, the world-renowned Perth Mint. With Mercanti’s vision and talent, accompanied by Perth Mint’s meticulous striking skills, the Wedge-Tailed Eagle was born! This is the tenth Wedge-Tailed Eagle release and the eighth Mercanti design in the series—and FIRST time these Proofs have been carefully struck as exquisite Gold-Gilded High Relief Piedfort Proofs!

Exquisite One-Year-Only Design

Struck as a double-thick Piedfort in two ounces of highly pure 99.99% silver, this coin’s one-year-only design is yet another incredible masterpiece from John Mercanti, 12th Chief Engraver of the U.S. Mint. The $2 Australian legal-tender coin features an intricately designed image of the Wedge Tailed Eagle. With wings stretching to more than seven-and-a-half feet, Wedge Tail Eagles have one of the longest wingspans of any eagle in the entire world. The detail is so exquisite you can see every feather from the bird’s gigantic wings to its powerful fully feathered legs. The image is truly the prefect blend of design, precious metal, and collector appeal.

High Relief Details, Selective Gold Gilding & Gorgeous Proof Finish

The design takes on an even more exciting appearance thanks to its High Relief details, selective gold gilding, and gorgeous Proof finish. High relief coins feature deep, concave fields, allowing the design to pop even more spectacularly from the surface. And the coin’s Proof finish was expertly crafted by the mint from hand-selected planchets, polished dies and multiple strikes to produce beautifully frosted details rising over mirror-like fields. Add in the selective gold gilding on the reverse design as well as on the edge and rims and you have a design that is truly breathtaking!
