Famous around the globe, the Perth Mint’s Wedge Tail Eagle coins celebrate Australia’s largest bird of prey and one of the world’s largest eagles, found across mainland Australia, Tasmania, and southern New Guinea. With its 2.5-meter wingspan and distinctive tail, these mighty raptors make an iconic subject for an annual coin series, and new releases of these coins are popular with collectors, investors, and wildlife enthusiasts alike. The first half-gram version of these coins was issued in 2015 to provide an affordable, entry-level collectible for those new to the bullion market. The 2015 1/2 Gram Australian Gold Wedge Tail Eagle Coin is now on offer from JM Bullion.
