On the obverse side of 2017 1 oz Australian Wedge Tail Eagle Silver Coins, you’ll find the image of Queen Elizabeth II. Her Majesty’s effigy is found here in a fourth-generation portrait which was created in 1998 by Ian Rank-Broadley for the Royal Mint of England and Commonwealth nations.

The reverse of the 2017 Australian Wedge Tail Eagle coins is the latest design in the series. This is the third design in the collection and represents a slight twist form the 2016 design. Both capture the image of a wedge tail eagle on its perch, but this 2017 design was enhanced to focus more on the bird.

Wedge tail eagles are the largest bird of prey in Australia and are found on neighboring islands as well. Found throughout the Australian continent, the wedge tail eagle is known for its wedge-shaped tail feathers and is considered one of the fastest birds of prey when diving for attack.
