Product Details

Precision and perfection in pure gold

Struck from one ounce of 999.9 gold in proof quality, this edition achieves the highest level of numismatic excellence. The high relief strike gives the motif exceptional depth, allowing every detail to stand out in a sculptural manner and creating an almost three-dimensional effect. With a diameter of 27.60 millimeters, the coin sits compactly in the hand, yet conveys an impressive sense of substance and value. Production takes place under the strictly controlled conditions of The Perth Mint, which is globally renowned for its outstanding quality and precision. Multi-stage minting processes, along with the careful polishing of the dies, ensure mirror-smooth surfaces and the finest contrasts between matte and glossy elements.

Motif and Design

Majestic dynamics in artistic engraving

The central motif features a rising wedge-tailed eagle with widely spread wings, powerfully lifting away from the background. The depiction appears vivid and full of energy, as if the bird were about to leave the scene in the next moment. Fine lines run through the plumage, capturing light in shifting reflections.

In the background, an intricately designed pattern with stylized sun rays unfolds, adding additional depth and symbolic radiance to the scene. The surrounding inscription names the series and the anniversary, emphasizing the significance of this issue within the collection.

The reverse bears the portrait of King Charles III along with the face value of 100 dollars, thereby combining traditional elements of modern minting artistry with sovereign authority. The “P” mintmark of The Perth Mint serves as a subtle seal of quality and indicates the origin of this exceptional collector’s coin.

Historical and Cultural Background

The wedge-tailed eagle as a symbol of Australian strength

The wedge-tailed eagle is among the largest birds of prey in the world and is a defining symbol of Australia’s wildlife. With a wingspan of up to 2.7 meters, it embodies freedom, strength, and adaptability within one of the most diverse landscapes on Earth. For centuries, this majestic bird has been part of Australia’s culture and mythology. In many Indigenous traditions, it is regarded as an observer from above and a mediator between heaven and earth. Its presence represents foresight and dominance within the natural balance.

The Perth Mint’s Wedge Tailed Eagle series has established itself as a key fixture in the international collector market in recent years. The tenth anniversary marks a significant milestone and makes this issue an important reference point within the series.

Limited rarity with long-term potential
