2017 Australia 1/10 oz Gold Wedge Tailed Eagle
2017 Australia 1/10 oz Gold Wedge Tailed Eagle
This stunning Australian gold coin, minted in 2017, showcases the impressive artistry of designer John Mercanti. The reverse side captures a detailed depiction of a wedge-tailed eagle resting quietly on a tree limb. This powerful bird of prey is a celebrated symbol of the Australian wilderness, rendered here with intricate feather textures and lifelike poise. On the obverse, the coin displays the classic portrait of Queen Elizabeth II created by sculptor Ian Rank-Broadley. Surrounding the royal likeness are inscriptions indicating the face value of 15 Dollars, the year of issue, and the name of the monarch. The coin is struck from one-tenth of an ounce of highly pure 0.9999 fine gold. Produced by the Perth Mint, this legal tender release is fully backed by the government of Australia. With a maximum mintage capped at just 10,000 pieces, it represents a fascinating combination of low-mintage exclusivity and remarkable wildlife design in brilliant uncirculated condition.
