| Reverse description | Dynamic high-relief composition depicting a large wedge-tailed eagle (Aquila audax) dominating the central field, shown perched with wings partially spread and head lowered aggressively toward a small prey bird at lower left; a second wedge-tailed eagle soars with wings fully outstretched in the upper right background, conveying a sense of aerial power and depth. A circular incuse frame separates the central design from the legend field, with the Perth Mint's P mintmark visible at the right inner margin. The upper legend AUSTRALIAN WEDGE-TAILED EAGLE arcs around the periphery, while the lower legend 2018 1oz 9999 GOLD is inscribed along the base, all in crisp serif capitals consistent with the proof finish. |

| Additional information |
The Wedge-tailed Eagle series from Perth has become one of the more competitive annual bullion-adjacent programs in the Australian market, but the high-relief proof version occupies a different tier entirely. Achieving true high relief in a 32.6 mm planchet requires multiple strikes at significantly increased die pressure, which causes accelerated die wear — Perth typically retires obverse and reverse dies far earlier on these issues than on standard proof strikes.
The 2018 mintage for this specific high-relief variant was capped at 500 pieces worldwide.
