Instantly recognisable by the long, wedge-shaped tail that gives the bird its name, it boasts a wingspan of up to 2.5 metres and powerful legs feathered right down to its feet. A master of soaring flight, the wedge-tailed eagle can remain airborne for hours by riding warm thermal currents above Australia's sun-baked landscape, often reaching altitudes exceeding 2,000 metres.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDesign\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reverse has been sculpted by renowned American engraver John M. Mercanti and showcases an enhanced ultra-high relief design featuring the silhouettes of two magnificent birds of prey.
