Some coins simply exist to give precious metal a shape. And then there are pieces like this: a heavyweight that captivates collectors at first glance. The Silver Wedge Tailed Eagle of the 2026 vintage combines heft, brilliance and craftsmanship into a collector's coin that becomes the undisputed highlight of any display case. With a full five ounces of pure silver, it sits weighty and substantial in the hand.

A design that dominates the sky

At the center are two proud heads of the Australian Wedge-Tailed Eagle – that mighty bird of prey considered the largest eagle on the fifth continent. The sharply contoured beaks, the finely chiseled plumage, the piercing gaze: every detail has been crafted with devotion. Thanks to the partially gilded design, the gold-gleaming eagle heads stand out brilliantly against the matte silver background. This contrast – gold on silver – gives the piece an almost painting-like depth.

The combination of High Relief, reverse-proof finish and partial gilding makes this edition a small masterpiece of modern coin art.

The High Relief – the especially raised minting – makes the eagles appear to literally grow out of the coin's surface. In the reverse-proof process, the design surfaces shine matte while the background is mirror-polished. A look that must be seen and felt to be appreciated.

Such a strict limitation for a 5-ounce format with partial gilding and High Relief is a true rarity. The smaller the mintage, the greater the desirability tends to be – and this is precisely where this coin's considerable value appreciation potential lies.
