Silver Five Ounces 2022 Australian Swan, Coin from Australia
CoinSilver Five Ounces 2022 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 is a limited mintage bullion coin series featuring elegant designs of Cygnus atratus, graceful inhabitants of the southeast and southwest regions of Australia where they live and breed in estuaries, inlets and other wetland environments. The 2022 coin features the sixth design from this popular series.

Well-known to First Nations people for thousands of years, the Australian swan’s distinctive black plumage astonished early European explorers. So prevalent was Cygnus atratus in the estuaries, lakes and wetlands of Western Australia that it gave its name to Perth’s premier river and became an important State symbol.

Obverse
Australia / Silver Five Ounces 2022 Australian Swan - obverse photo

The obverse of the coin depicts the crowned old bust of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, wearing the Royal Diamond Diadem crown worn for her Coronation (effigy known as the "Fifth Portrait" worldwide but "Sixth Portrait" in Australia, where the Queen's portrait by Vladimir Gottwald was fifth).

The Queen also wears the Coronation Necklace; originally made for Queen Victoria in 1858, it was also worn at the coronations (as Queen's Consort) of Queen Alexandra in 1902, Queen Mary in 1911 and Queen Elizabeth (the Queen mother) in 1937.

Unlike on British coinage, the effigy is "uncouped" (includes the Queen's shoulders). In small letters on the left, the artist's initials JC (for Jody Clark).

Running continuously around the rim is the monarch's legend, the date of issue and the face value: ELIZABETH II 2022 AUSTRALIA · 8 DOLLARS ·.

Obverse Inscription ELIZABETH II 2022 AUSTRALIA · 8 DOLLARS ·
Reverse

The sixth annual design in the Australian Swan series portrays two graceful swans floating on the surface of the water.

The inscription around the rim reads THE 5oz 9999 AUSTRALIAN SILVER SWAN.

The designer's initials JM (for Jennifer McKenna) are on the feathers of the swan on the left, opposite the letter T.

The P mint mark of the Perth Mint is in the right field.
