A Regal Symbol of Australia’s Natural Heritage

The White-Bellied Sea Eagle (Haliaeetus leucogaster) is one of Australia’s most distinguished raptors, commanding the skies over coastal regions and inland waterways. With a wingspan that can exceed 2 meters, this apex predator is revered not just for its size and strength, but also for its symbolic presence as a guardian of the shoreline.

In the 2022 reverse design, the Perth Mint captures the eagle in a moment of poised watchfulness, perched high on a rugged branch and gazing over its territory. The fine linework and depth of relief bring out the texture of its feathers and the intensity of its stance. This is not only a gold coin—it’s a tribute to Australia’s wild, untamed beauty.

Obverse: The Royal Effigy of Queen Elizabeth II

The obverse of the 2022 1/4 oz White-Bellied Sea Eagle Gold Coin features the Jody Clark portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, a design introduced in 2015 and used through 2023 on Australian coinage. Her likeness is shown wearing the George IV State Diadem, facing right in regal profile.

Surrounding the effigy are the inscriptions:
“ELIZABETH II – AUSTRALIA – 1/4 OZ 9999 Au – 25 DOLLARS”, indicating the nation of issue, gold weight, purity, and legal tender denomination.

Reverse: A Masterful Portrait of Power and Precision

On the reverse, the spotlight is on the White-Bellied Sea Eagle, portrayed in its natural element with meticulous attention to anatomical realism. The coin’s edge is inscribed with “2022 WHITE-BELLIED SEA EAGLE”, framing the composition beautifully. The “P” mintmark appears discreetly near the edge, confirming the coin's origin from the Perth Mint.

This design is a continuation of the Perth Mint's acclaimed efforts to spotlight Australia’s native wildlife, placing it in the ranks of iconic series such as the Kookaburra, Koala, and Kangaroo programs.
