2016 AUSTRALIA WEDGE TAILED EAGLE BI METAL Gold & Silver 1oz Proof Coin
The Wedge-Tailed Eagle is Australia’s largest bird of prey and one of the
biggest eagles in the world. Found throughout mainland Australia, Tasmania and
southern New Guinea, the Wedge-Tailed Eagle has a wingspan of up to 2.7 metres,
and displays a long, wedge-shaped tail and feathered legs.
This majestic bird is known to soar through the sky for hours on end,
frequently reaching altitudes of up to 2,000 metres. In the heat of the day, the
eagle makes use of hot thermal air currents that drift up from the ground to
reach these dizzying heights, whilst expending little energy.
The Wedge-Tailed Eagle can be found from sea level areas to alpine
regions, though they favour forested land and open country, to rainforests and
coastal heaths. They can often be seen perched in trees and on rocks and cliffs,
from where they have a clear view of their surroundings, enabling them to defend
their territory and identify prey.
The coin is struck by The Perth Mint from 1/2oz of 99.9% pure silver and 1/2oz of 99.99% pure gold in proof quality. The Perth Mint will issue no more than 750 of the 2016 Australian Wedge-tailed Eagle Bi-Metal Coin.
This coin is housed in a prestigious wooden presentation case with a themed, customised shipper and is accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
