Wedge-tailed Eagles are powerful predators, preying on a variety of animals including mammals (like rabbits, wallabies, and small kangaroos), birds, and reptiles. They are known for their soaring flight, using thermal air currents to stay aloft for long periods as they search for prey. The Wedge Tailed Eagle Series features designs of the eagle by John Mercanti, the former Chief Engraver of the United States Mint.
All of these 2020 1 oz Proof Australian Gold Wedge Tailed Eagle Coins are available with a high-relief strike and proof visuals. High-relief coins have enhanced visual depth and greater 3D relief on the design elements, while the proof finish delivers frosted designs and mirrored background fields. All coins are in plastic flips.
On the obverse of 2020 Proof Australian Gold Wedge Tailed Eagles, you will find the final bust of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Designed in 2015 by Jody Clark, this effigy shows the Queen in right-profile relief wearing the George IV State Diadem Crown.
The reverse side of 2020 1 oz Proof Gold Wedge Tailed Eagle Coins comes with a depiction of the eagle in flight. This up-close depiction shows the head and upper half of the eagle’s body in right-profile relief. With raised wings, it sweeps into view with its talons extended.
