Tuvalu 2018 $2 Tasmanian Wedge-tailed Eagle 2oz Silver BU Coin- Dog Privy

This 2018 Tuvalu 2 oz Silver Bald Eagle coin showcases a powerful high-relief depiction of a bald eagle, struck in .9999 fine silver by The Perth Mint for Tuvalu. The obverse features a dramatic close-up of a bald eagle’s head and chest, with a second eagle in flight and a stylized tree in the background. The finely layered feathers and raised relief give the design a bold, sculptural presence. A small “P” mintmark appears near the tree, and a dog-shaped privy mark appears at the lower portion of the design, denoting the coin’s special privy edition status.

The reverse displays the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II designed by Ian Rank-Broadley, surrounded by the inscriptions “QUEEN ELIZABETH II,” “TUVALU,” “2 DOLLARS,” “2018,” and “2 oz 9999 Ag.” The mirrored proof-like fields contrast strongly with the matte relief, producing a dramatic finish. Struck in high relief with a concave reverse, this issue is admired for its impressive depth, weight, and visual impact. The coin is encapsulated for protection, preserving the sharpness of its strike and premium finish.
