Why Choose This GEM BU 2022-P Australia 1 oz Silver Wedge-Tailed Eagle Coin?
Many nations around the world offer collectible and bullion coins each year, but Australia really stands out in this area. An assortment of the world’s most popular bullion coins are struck by Australia, including the Wedge-Tailed Eagle series. One major draw to the series is the fact that the eagle designs are by John Mercanti, retired Chief Engraver of the U.S. Mint and designer of the original heraldic eagle reverse of the American Silver Eagle series. While initially the designs ran for two years, ever since 2017 the series has featured unique, one-year-only designs created by Mercanti. This 2022 bullion Wedge-Tailed Eagle marks the seventh design in the series and features a close-up side profile of a fierce Wedge Tailed Eagle.

Stunning Eagle Profile
