Comment
This coin is the fourth in the annual series of 1oz limited mintage Silver Swan coins with designs varying each year, much like the heralded Koala and Kookaburra coin series from Perth Mint. This beautiful edition comes in selective 24K Gold plating and lettering on a proof background.Swans are often a symbol of love and fidelity due to their long-lasting monogamous relationships. Swans are almost entirely herbivorous, though they will eat small amounts of aquatic animals. There are around seven different species of swan found around the world. Swans are classified as a threatened species mostly due to hunting and habitat loss. Pollution is also a contributing factor.
