2016 1 oz Proof Gold/Silver Australian Wedge-Tailed Eagle Perth Mint NGC PF 70 UCAM (John M. Mercanti)
Experience an innovative release from the Perth Mint with the 2016 1 oz Proof Gold/Silver Australian Wedge-Tailed Eagle, a bi-metallic masterpiece designed by John M. Mercanti. This unique issue combines 1/2 oz of .9999 fine gold at the center with a surrounding 1/2 oz ring of .999 fine silver, creating a striking contrast between the two precious metals. Certified a flawless PF 70 Ultra Cameo (UCAM) by NGC, this coin is one of the most distinctive offerings in the acclaimed Wedge-Tailed Eagle series.
Bimetallic coins are rarely struck in precious metals, making this release a standout in modern numismatics. Instead of the typical proof, high-relief, or gilded formats, the Perth Mint unveiled this mixed gold and silver edition in 2016, offering collectors something entirely fresh.
With a limited mintage of just 750 coins worldwide, this release was met with immediate acclaim and remains one of the most desirable specialty issues of the Wedge-Tailed Eagle program.
