| Beschrijving keerzijde | A finely detailed depiction of an Australian Wedge-tailed Eagle (Aquila audax) is shown with wings fully spread in a dramatic descending posture, talons extended as the bird prepares to land upon a textured rocky branch positioned in the lower left of the field. The design is executed in frosted relief against a deeply mirrored background, characteristic of proof coinage. The curved legend 'AUSTRALIAN WEDGE-TAILED EAGLE' arcs along the upper periphery, while the lower legend reads '2015 1oz 9995 PLATINUM', flanked by the Perth Mint 'P' mintmark. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Wedge-tailed Eagle series, launched by the Perth Mint in 2014, was a deliberate push into the platinum bullion market at a time when palladium and platinum were trading at near-parity — an unusual condition that briefly made platinum coinage economically viable for a broader range of investors. Australia's wedge-tailed eagle carries particular resonance as a subject: with a wingspan reaching 2.3 metres, it is the largest bird of prey on the continent and one of the largest raptors in the world.
Ian Rank-Broadley's fourth portrait of Elizabeth II, used on this issue, was adopted by the Perth Mint slightly later than most Commonwealth mints — a quiet assertion of the Perth facility's independence from the Royal Australian Mint.
