2015 5 oz Proof Gold Australian Wedge-Tailed Eagle Perth Mint PCGS PF 69 DCAM (John M. Mercanti)
Showcasing one of the most impressive modern numismatic designs, the 2015 5 oz Proof Gold Australian Wedge-Tailed Eagle is a masterpiece of artistry and precious metal craftsmanship. Struck in 5 troy ounces of .9999 fine gold by the Perth Mint, this coin is graded PF 69 Deep Cameo (DCAM) by PCGS, placing it just one point below perfection. Designed by John M. Mercanti, 12th Chief Engraver of the U.S. Mint, this issue reflects the stunning collaboration between an American master engraver and Australia’s premier mint.
The Wedge-Tailed Eagle Series, introduced in 2014, quickly rose to prominence for its striking depictions of Australia’s largest bird of prey. The eagle is an enduring symbol of strength, power, and vigilance, and Mercanti’s artistry captures the bird’s grandeur in exquisite detail.
The 2015 release continues the success of the inaugural year, featuring Mercanti’s acclaimed eagle design in a massive 5 oz proof format. The Deep Cameo finish enhances the bold contrasts between the frosted eagle and mirrored background, making this coin a true showpiece. With its substantial weight and near-perfect grade, this coin is among the most prestigious issues in the series.
