Coin | Gold Ounce 2025 Australian Swan |
---|
|
The Australian one-ounce gold piece (abbreviated as 1 oz and designated with Au for "gold") is a bullion coin format. Uniquely, in Australia there are two mints authorised to strike legal tender: the Royal Australian Mint (which also makes the country's circulating coinage) and the Perth Mint which only makes collector and bullion coins, as well as other bullion products.
Both mints endeavour to create coins with attractive designs, and to introduce new designs and themes often, in order to raise the numismatic value of the coins over the value of previous metal used.
The mint says about this coin: The Australian Swan is a limited mintage bullion coin series featuring elegant designs of the waterbird that glides majestically across the estuaries, inlets and rivers in which it lives and breeds. The 2025 coin features the ninth design from this popular series which continues to boast a strong track record of sell outs. |
