The wedge-tailed eagle, named for its long, distinctively shaped tail, is Australia's largest bird of prey and one of the largest eagles in the world. With a wingspan of up to 2.5 meters, it can fly tirelessly for many hours and often reaches altitudes of 2,000 meters or more thanks to thermal air currents rising from the sun-drenched deserts of Australia.
The reverse of the coin depicts a raptor flying high in the sky along a geometric pattern representing a sunburst. Gilded in 24-karat gold, the majestic bird is seen in exquisite detail, giving it the added depth and fullness of a high degree of relief. In addition to the inscriptions "AUSTRALIAN WEDGE-TAILED EAGLE" and "10 TH ANNIVERSARY", the obverse bears the mintmark "P125", denoting the 125th anniversary of the Perth Mint.
