Why purchase this perfectly graded First Releases 2022-P Australian Wedge-Tailed Eagle 1 oz. silver bullion coin?
The Perth Mint launched a coin series honoring the largest bird of prey of Australia, the Wedge-Tailed Eagle, in 2014. The series began with a new design introduction every other year, however its quick popularity prompted the Mint to institute annually changing imagery in 2018. The spectacularly detailed renditions of the magnificent bird have been designed by prolific American sculptor John Mercanti, the currently retired 12th Chief Engraver of the U.S. Mint.
This ninth year of issue 2022-P Wedge-Tailed Eagle coin is minted from 1 Troy oz. of .9999 fine silver.
The 40.60 mm diameter coin features an exciting single year of issue eagle image.
The coin qualified for the prestigious First Releases designation.
The impeccably struck coin includes an exclusive hand signed label.
Mintage is limited to 50,000 pieces.
Breathtaking 2022 Wedge-Tailed Eagle Design
Obverse: The likeness of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is centered on the obverse. The inscriptions “ELIZABETH II” and “AUSTRALIA” curve overhead, while the coin’s denomination of “1 DOLLAR” sweeps below. The Queen’s portrait was crafted by award-winning British sculptor Jody Clark in 2015.
Reverse: The reverse image showcases the keen gaze, sharply curved beak, and gorgeous feather pattern of the head of a Wedge-Tailed Eagle. The impressive eagle portrait is surrounded by a border inscribed with “AUSTRALIAN WEDGE-TAILED EAGLE,” “2022 1 OZ .9999 SILVER” and the Mint mark “P.”
