Those who love popular collector's coins with very low mintages will find a true highlight of the current year of issue in the 1 oz Silver Australian Wedge Tailed Eagle 2026. The Perth Mint has created a masterpiece here that is unrivalled in the world of collector's coins – not least because of the breathtakingly low mintage of only 2,500 pieces worldwide.

A Design That Gets Under Your Skin

Two kings of the skies, side by side: in the foreground, the Australian Wedge-Tailed Eagle reigns with its deep brown, warmly shimmering plumage. Behind it, the iconic Bald Eagle of North America gazes in the same direction with its bright yellow beak and snow-white head. The detailed colouring is executed in an almost photorealistic manner: every feather, every glint in the eye, every gradient in the plumage has been lovingly rendered. This eleventh edition of the Wedge-Tailed Eagle design comes from the hand of John M. Mercanti, the twelfth Chief Engraver of the US Mint – a distinguished name that connoisseurs will immediately associate with legendary coins such as the American Silver Eagle.

"With a wingspan of up to 2.8 metres, the Wedge-Tailed Eagle glides effortlessly at altitudes of more than 2,000 metres – a symbol of freedom and endurance across the vast expanses of Australia."

The Reverse: Classic Sovereign Design

The obverse features the modern portrait of King Charles III based on the design by Dan Thorne, framed by the inscription "CHARLES III AUSTRALIA" and the face value "1 DOLLAR". A dignified counterpart to the vibrant colour world of the eagle design.

Why This Rarity Makes Collectors' Hearts Beat Faster

The combination of strict limitation, elegant coincard presentation and one of Australia's most popular wildlife designs makes this edition a true rarity. With silver coins with appreciation potential, the rule has always applied: the lower the mintage and the more expressive the design, the more sought-after the coin on the secondary market. While classic bullion coins such as the Australian Kangaroo or Koala appear in mintages of millions, we are operating in a completely different league here.

Strengths Compared to Other Silver Coins

• Mintage: At 2,500 pieces, significantly rarer than standard bullion coins
• Finishing: Elaborate colouring instead of plain surface minting
• Mint: The Perth Mint enjoys the highest reputation worldwide
• Condition: Mint State (MS) – flawless collector condition
• Format: 40.90 mm diameter provides ample space for the design

Silver – The Precious Metal with Character

Silver has accompanied humanity as a coinage metal for thousands of years. It combines aesthetic appeal with an intrinsic value that no paper currency has ever been able to match. There is also a tax aspect that many collectors appreciate: profits from the sale of silver coins are generally tax-free after a holding period of at least one year. This makes building a fine collection doubly attractive – the joy of ownership meets a well-considered wealth-building asset that can be passed down from generation to generation.

Scope of Delivery

The coin is delivered in the official, printed coincard from the Perth Mint. This protects the collector's item while also containing the technical details and confirmation of the maximum mintage of 2,500 pieces. Ideal for display in a showcase – or as a special gift for lovers of exclusive minting art.

Act now while stocks last – with only 2,500 pieces worldwide, this edition is likely to sell out quickly.
