Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2019 Australian Wedge-Tailed Eagle Silver Coin is that it features a unique design that showcases the eagle in flight, with its wings spread wide and its sharp talons extended. The design is meant to symbolize freedom, power, and grace, and it's a departure from the traditional depiction of the eagle in a static pose. The coin's designer, John Mercanti, is a renowned coin designer who has worked with the Perth Mint for many years, and his work on this coin is considered one of his finest creations.
