Gold Ounce 2025 Australian Swan, High Relief, Coin from Australia - detailed information

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.

This coin is part of the Australian Swan series by the Perth Mint.

The mint says about it:
"In Western Australia, the swan is a cherished emblem embodying qualities of serenity, grace, and beauty. These majestic creatures, often seen gracefully gliding through the waters of rivers, estuaries, and wetlands across the region, captivate with their elegance both in flight and repose."

The coin is a high relief version of the bullion ounce, and is struck on a thicker flan with a smaller diameter.
