2017 Australia 1 oz Silver Wedge Tailed Eagle MS-70 NGC
The 2017 Australian Wedge-Tailed Eagle silver coin represents a remarkable collaboration between the Perth Mint and American sculptor John Mercanti. Struck from one troy ounce of 0.999 fine silver, this sovereign issue is backed by the Australian government and forms part of an ongoing series dedicated to one of the southern hemisphere's most formidable birds of prey. On the reverse side, the design captures a wedge-tailed eagle resting upon a tree branch, showcasing the intricate feather details of this impressive raptor. This side of the coin also bears the inscriptions 'AUSTRALIAN WEDGE-TAILED EAGLE' alongside '2017 1 OZ 999 SILVER' and the traditional 'P' mint mark representing the Perth Mint. The obverse features the right-facing profile of Queen Elizabeth II. Surrounding the royal portrait are inscriptions denoting her name, the issuing nation of Australia, and the legal tender face value of 1 Dollar. This specific specimen has been certified in the top-tier grade of Mint State 70, indicating a coin of exceptional strike and preservation.
