Twice the weight and thickness of other coins of the same diameter, the piedfort originated in France during the 12th century.
Revived by The Perth Mint in proof quality in 2018, the extra-thick coin is a fitting canvas for John M. Mercanti’s outstanding Wedge-tailed Eagle designs. Struck from 2oz of pure silver, this coin is a unique addition to a beloved Australian series characterised by meticulous craftsmanship and exceptional quality.
Masterful Design
The coin’s reverse depicts a magnificent wedge-tailed eagle in flight with wings fully extended and stylised rays of sunlight in the background.
The design also includes the inscription ‘AUSTRALIAN WEDGE-TAILED EAGLE’, the 2019 year-date, the weight and fineness and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark.
