A Piece of Australian Heritage: The 2025 Rose Gold Wedge-Tailed Eagle Coin

We are so thankful to be able to present a truly exceptional coin from The Perth Mint: Australian Wedge-Tailed Eagle 2025 1oz Rose Gold Reverse Proof Ultra High Relief Coin.

This is a beautiful coin, one to keep, and love. For coin collectors and those who love fine things. We are lucky to have it available here at www.mintcoinshop.com.au. While we're in hawthorn, Victoria, we do ship anywhere.

This coin is a significant and magnificent Australian asset. Struck from one ounce of 91.67% pure rose gold, this coin represents a genuine piece of tangible wealth combined with world-class sculptural minting. For anyone seeking a profound, enduring gift—perhaps for a milestone anniversary, a major achievement, or as a timeless family heirloom—this release offers unparalleled rarity and beauty.

A Symbol of Australian Majesty

At the heart of the design is the majestic Wedge-Tailed Eagle, Australia’s largest and most formidable bird of prey. The artist, the highly regarded US engraver John M. Mercanti, has captured the eagle with breathtaking intensity, depicting it standing powerfully with its wings partially outstretched. It is a symbol of strength, freedom, and the wild beauty of the Australian landscape.

The beauty of this design is amplified by its extraordinary manufacturing quality. The coin features an Ultra High Relief finish. For those unfamiliar with the terminology, this means the sculpted image of the eagle is pressed into the gold with incredible depth, causing it to stand out significantly from the surface. It’s akin to a miniature, highly detailed sculpture. The coin’s surface is actually struck on a concave shape to allow the metal to flow into the deepest crevices, ensuring a sharp, lifelike finish that must be seen to be truly appreciated.

The Allure of Rose Gold and Extreme Rarity

What makes this edition so appealing, even to those not normally interested in coins, is the precious metal itself. Rose gold, with its warm, distinct colour, gives the eagle a unique lustre and depth. It elevates the coin from a simple gold investment to a beautiful object of art.

Crucially, this is one of the most exclusive pieces ever released in this prestigious series. The Perth Mint has limited the worldwide mintage to an astonishingly low 175 coins. This extreme rarity is the primary driver of its desirability and value. To own this piece is to join a very small, global group of individuals who possess this particular artistic work.

Presentation Befitting a Treasure

A coin of this calibre deserves luxury packaging. It is presented in a high-quality display case, ensuring it is protected and ready for immediate exhibition. Furthermore, it comes complete with a numbered Certificate of Authenticity, confirming its quality, specifications, and its position within that tiny global mintage of 175.

Priced at $7,690.00, this is a significant purchase, but it is an investment in artistry, rarity, and pure Australian gold. It offers a powerful, enduring reminder of Australian natural heritage and minting excellence.

Thanks for stopping by and checking out this beautiful coin.
