The 2023 Wedge-Tailed Eagle Spreads Its Wings!
Australia's Wedge-Tailed Eagle Series is back in 2023 for a tenth consecutive year with the eighth design from John Mercanti, 12th Chief Engraver of the United States Mint. This year's design shows Australia's largest bird of prey in a majestic portrait alighting on a branch as its spreads it massive, long & broad wings. This series from the Perth Mint is a collectors-favorite, both for the incredible Mercanti designs and for its numismatic importance as the first-ever collaboration between a former U.S. Mint Chief Engraver and a foreign world mint.
New Mercanti's Design Is An Instant Classic
Like past year's releases, this 2023-dated coin is struck in a full ounce of highly pure 99.99% fine silver. It continues the series of the Perth Mint's modern-day masterpieces with a Mercanti design that features an intricately designed image of the Wedge Tailed Eagle. With wings stretching to more than seven-and-a-half feet, Wedge Tail Eagles have one of the longest wingspans of any eagle in the entire world. The detail is so exquisite you can see every feather from the bird's gigantic wings to its powerful fully feathered legs. The image is truly the prefect blend of design, precious metal, and collector appeal.
Amazing Incuse Design Creates A Stunning Effect
What's more, these have been struck with amazing Incuse design! Incuse coins are created the same way that traditional coins are made: two dies strike a planchet surrounded by a collar. The difference between conventional coinage and incuse issues is in the creation of the dies. Traditional dies have recessed design details so that the design devices of the coin are raised on the coin, whereas dies for incused coins need to be raised and realized in higher relief to "punch" the details below the fields of the coin. This incuse striking method creates a stunning effect to Mercanti's new 2023 Wedge Tailed Eagle design. Additionally, each coin available in this offer comes in gorgeous Reverse Proof condition on one side and regular Proof condition on the obverse side.

"Amazing service and hospitality from the staff at IDC! Jason was so attentive and patient in our search for our ideal watches. He took us through several options, had us try every watch we were interested in, took our information and continued searching for options. A few hours later, we had our watches on hold and ready for pick up! He located a watch that I LOVE, and a unique piece for my husband. We are grateful to have found our new Jeweler for many pieces to come!"
