Description: GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED. LIMITED TO 5000 MINTED. SOLD OUT IMMEDIATELY AT THE PERTH MINT. ONE OZ.SILVER PROOF. THIS GORGEOUS FIRST YEAR ISSUE COIN WAS DESIGNED BY JOHN MERCANTI.Stunning John Mercanti Designs The Wedge-Tailed Eagle Series has been classified by some as Australia’s answer to America’s Silver Eagle coins. It is no surprise, then, that the Perth Mint turned to the man who created the eagle design that has appeared on the American Silver Eagle since its inception, John Mercanti, as their designer for this series. Mercanti is a giant in the world of numismatics. Having joined the US Mint in 1974, he became its twelfth Chief Engraver in 2006. He remained in that post until he retired in 2010. During his three-plus decades with the Mint, Mercanti designed more US coins and medals than anyone else in its history. His 100-plus designs include five reverses of state quarters, the obverse of the John Marshall commemorative dollar, and the 1984 Gold Olympic $10 coin.
