CoinSilver Five Ounces 2018 Australian Swan

The Australian five ounces silver piece (abbreviated as 5 oz and designated with Ag for "silver") is a bullion and commemorative 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 Australian Swan 2018 5oz Silver Proof High Relief Coin is part of the Perth Mint's Australian Swan series which features a new reverse design every year.

The Mint says about it:
The elegant Australian Silver Swan is now available as a 5oz high relief masterpiece. The coin’s reverse depicts the majestic and unique animal emblem of Western Australia swimming gracefully on the surface of the water with a cygnet beside her. To press this special release, which features an appreciably raised relief for stunning clarity, an extra thick blank and deeply engraved dies were especially created by The Perth Mint’s craftspeople.

Obverse

The obverse of the coin shows the crowned mature head of Queen Elizabeth II facing right (her effigy known as the "Fourth Portrait"). The Queen wears the "Girls of Great Britain and Ireland" diamond tiara, a wedding gift from Queen Mary (Her Majesty's grandmother) in 1947 - which she also has on the Machin and the Gottwald portraits.

In small letters below the head, the artist's initials IRB (for Ian Rank-Broadley).

Around the effigy is the monarch's legend, the date of issue and the value: ELIZABETH II AUSTRALIA 2018 · 8 DOLLARS ·.
