2024 1oz Perth Mint Australian Swan Gold Bullion Coin
Product Overview
The 2024 1oz Australian Swan Gold Coin continues The Perth Mint's popular Australian Swan bullion series with another annually changing interpretation of one of Western Australia's most recognisable symbols.
Struck by The Perth Mint from 1 troy ounce of 99.99% pure gold, the 2024 release depicts a graceful swan floating on the surface of the water, surrounded by delicate ripples. The design combines the natural elegance of the bird with the refined finish characteristic of the Swan series.
First introduced in 2017, the Australian Swan bullion series features a new swan design each year, giving every annual release its own identity. With a maximum mintage of just 5,000 coins worldwide, the 1oz gold release combines traditional bullion specifications with the added appeal of a limited annual design.

Frequently Asked Questions
When did The Perth Mint Australian Swan series begin?
The Australian Swan bullion series was introduced by The Perth Mint in 2017. Unlike bullion programs that retain essentially the same principal design from year to year, the Swan series features a new interpretation of the swan on each annual release. This changing design has become one of the defining characteristics of the series.
How many 2024 1oz Australian Swan Gold Coins were made?
The Perth Mint set a maximum mintage of 5,000 coins worldwide for the 2024 1oz Australian Swan Gold Bullion Coin. The limited mintage distinguishes the Swan from many of The Perth Mint's higher-volume bullion releases.
Why does the swan feature so prominently on Perth Mint coins?
The swan has a strong connection with Western Australia, the home of The Perth Mint. The Swan River flows through Perth, and the black swan is the bird emblem of Western Australia and an enduring symbol of the state. This makes the swan a particularly fitting subject for an Australian bullion series produced in Perth.
