Design

Sculpted for The Perth Mint by renowned US engraver, John M. Mercanti, the coin’s reverse portrays a representation of a wedge-tailed eagle soaring. The image appears on a background featuring geometrically arranged elements that suggest a sunburst. As well as the inscriptions ‘AUSTRALIAN WEDGETAILED EAGLE’ and ‘10TH ANNIVERSARY’, the reverse includes a ‘P125’ mintmark signifying The Perth Mint’s 125th anniversary in 2024. Also included is the coin’s weight, purity, and year-date. The obverse depicts the Dan Thorne effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, and the monetary denomination.
