Wedge Tailed Eagle 2026 $2 2oz Silver Enhanced Reverse Proof Ultra High Relief Gilded Coin

The Perth Mint is delighted to present the Wedge Eagle 2026 1oz Silver Proof Coin, a dazzling new release from The Perth Mint's acclaimed series celebrating Australia's iconic wildlife.

The wedge-tailed eagle (Aquila audax) is Australia's largest bird of prey and one of the largest eagles in the world. With a wingspan that can reach up to 2.3 metres, these powerful birds are a symbol of the vast, sweeping landscapes of Australia. Named for their distinctive diamond-shaped tail, wedge-tailed eagles are expert hunters and skilled soaring birds, often seen circling high above Australia's open plains and forests.

The coin's reverse features a striking design of a wedge-tailed eagle depicted mid-flight, with its broad wings spread against a backdrop of the Australian landscape. The design includes the inscription 'WEDGE-TAILED EAGLE' and The Perth Mint's 'P' mintmark, along with the coin's weight, fineness, and 2026 year-date.

The obverse bears the Dan Thorne effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, and the coin's monetary denomination.
