Comment

This 1oz gold bullion coin features the new swan design originally released in silver earlier in 2017.
This is the first time The Perth Mint has featured this design in gold showcasing one of the world’s most distinct and unique species.

Struck from 99.99% pure gold, the coin’s literal design visualises the graceful bird in its wetland habitat. In classic profile, the portrayal displays the swans long neck, which enables it to forage for food on the river bed, with broad wings that span up to two metres tucked together on its back.

Limited to just 5,000 coins, the 2017 Perth Mint Swan 1oz Gold Bullion Coin portrays the graceful icon of Western Australia.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2017 Australian Swan 100 Dollar Gold Bullion Coin is that it features a unique design that showcases a swan gliding gracefully on the water, surrounded by a rim of waves. The swan is depicted in a naturalistic style, with intricate feather details and a sense of movement that gives the impression of the bird gliding effortlessly across the surface of the water. The design is meant to symbolize the beauty and elegance of the swan, and it is a departure from the traditional depictions of royalty and other symbols that are commonly found on coins. The use of a swan as the central motif was chosen to represent the grace and purity of the gold content of the coin.
