Silver Five Ounces 2020 Australian Swan, Coin from Australia - detailed information
| ||||||
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. This premium proof high-relief 5oz silver coin is part of the Australian Swan series, which has been issued by the Perth Mint since 2017 in silver and gold formats. The Mint says about it: An instant hit with collectors when it was launched in 2017, the annual Australian Swan coin series continues to impress in 2020 with another beautiful interpretation of this majestic bird, which in Australia is characterised by its distinctive black plumage. The coin portrays a dramatic image of a swan landing on water with its wings unfurled. Struck with noticeably raised relief, it offers one of the best ways to fully appreciate this year’s spectacular artistry. | ||||||
