Comment
Named for its long, distinctively shaped tail, the wedge-tailed eagle is Australia's largest bird of prey and one of the biggest eagles in the world. With an impressive wingspan of up to 2.5 metres , it can also be recognised from its long, powerful legs which are feathered all the way to the feet.Wedge-tailed eagles can be observed across mainland Australia and Tasmania in a variety of habitats, from coastal to alpine regions. The birds favour lightly wooded country offering favourable nesting sites from which they have a clear view of their territory and ready access to prey including mammals such as rabbits and hares, as well as lizards, snakes and other birds.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique high relief design, which gives the impression of a 3D effect. The coin's design is struck multiple times to create a raised, detailed image that stands out from the coin's surface. This technique adds an extra layer of depth and visual interest to the coin, making it a standout piece for collectors.
