With an impressive wingspan of up to 2.5 metres, it can also be recognised by its powerful legs which are feathered all the way to its feet. With the ability to fly tirelessly for many hours, the majestic wedge-tailed eagle frequently reaches altitudes of 2,000 meters and beyond on thermal air currents rising from Australia's sun-baked terrain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSculpted for The Perth Mint by renowned US engraver, John M. Mercanti, the coin's enhanced ultra high relief design portrays the silhouette of a Wedge-tailed eagle in the foreground and a Bald eagle behind it, both gazing to the right. The image and the outer rim are gilded in 24-carat gold. Included on the reverse is the inscription 'AUSTRALIAN WEDGE-TAILED EAGLE' and The Perth Mint's 'P' mintmark, along with the coin's weight, fineness and 2026 year-date.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe coin's enhanced ultra-high relief reverse is minted on a concave surface to ensure the optimum flow of metal is achieved by the strike of the die.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"table__row u-flex px-3 py-2 py-md-3\" role=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"table__cell u-text-weight-700 mx-md-1\" role=\"cell\"\u003eYear: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"table__cell mx-md-1\" role=\"cell\"\u003e2026\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"table__cell u-text-weight-700 mx-md-1\" role=\"cell\"\u003eMetal: Gold\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"table__cell u-text-weight-700 mx-md-1\" role=\"cell\"\u003eGold Content (Troy oz): 1.00\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"table__cell u-text-weight-700 mx-md-1\" role=\"cell\"\u003eMonetary Denomination (AUD): 100\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"table__cell mx-md-1\" role=\"cell\"\u003e.00\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"table__cell u-text-weight-700 mx-md-1\" role=\"cell\"\u003eFineness (% purity): \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"table__cell mx-md-1\" role=\"cell\"\u003e99.99\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"table__cell u-text-weight-700 mx-md-1\" role=\"cell\"\u003eMinimum Gross Weight (g): 31.107\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"table__cell u-text-weight-700 mx-md-1\" role=\"cell\"\u003eMaximum Diameter (mm): 27.60\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"table__cell u-text-weight-700 mx-md-1\" role=\"cell\"\u003eMaximum Thickness (mm): 5.00\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"table__cell u-text-weight-700 mx-md-1\" role=\"cell\"\u003eMaximum Mintage: 35\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"table__cell mx-md-1\" role=\"cell\"\u003e0\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"table__cell u-text-weight-700 mx-md-1\" role=\"cell\"\u003eFinish: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"table__cell mx-md-1\" role=\"cell\"\u003eProof, High Relief, Gilded\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"table__cell u-text-weight-700 mx-md-1\" role=\"cell\"\u003eLegal Tender: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"table__cell mx-md-1\" role=\"cell\"\u003eAustralia\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"table__cell u-text-weight-700 mx-md-1\" role=\"cell\"\u003eDesigner: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"table__cell mx-md-1\" role=\"cell\"\u003eJohn M.
