This next chapter in the story depicts a majestic, highly detailed Wedge-Tailed Eagle soaring in the sky, decorated by stylized sun rays, in impressive high relief. The obverse portrays the VERY FIRST definitive portrait of King Charles III for Australia.
Additionally, each coin is inscribed “10th Anniversary” and features a “P125” mint mark in honor of the Perth Mint’s 125th Anniversary, replacing the traditional Perth Mint mint mark. AND, these proofs have a miniature Wedge Tailed Eagle reproduction from the original 2014 design at the top of the obverse—which will only appear on 2024 Wedge-Tailed Eagle Proofs!
Each of these perfect, flawless coins comes sonically sealed with a label with a hand-signed signature from the reverse designer, John Mercanti—the former 12th Chief Engraver of the U.S. Mint and the man who designed more coins and medals than any other employee in U.S. Mint history.
