Swan 1oz Gold Minted Bar

The Perth Mint is delighted to present The Australian Swan 1oz Gold Bullion Minted Bar.

Swans are commonly seen in wetlands, river estuaries, bays and great lakes throughout Australia, from the east to west coast. Commemorating the first Australian Swan design released by The Perth Mint in 2017, this beautifully crafted gold bar features an elegant swan gliding serenly across the water.

Each bar is struck by The Perth Mint from 1oz of 99.99% pure gold and has a maximum mintage of 25,000.

DESIGN

Alongside the elegant swan, the front design includes the inscription ‘THE AUSTRALIAN SWAN’ and the ‘P’ mintmark.

The back of the bar is stamped with The Perth Mint’s London Bullion Market Association registered mark, a stylised swan symbolising The Perth Mint’s 125 year-old reputation for quality. The bar’s weight, purity and fineness are also included in the design.

For additional peace of mind, the bar incorporates authentication features in the form of micro-laser engraved letters.

PRESENTATION

This minted bar is housed in tamper-evident packaging which will display the word VOID around the edge of the blister if the card has been prized open.

ABOUT THE PERTH MINT

The Perth Mint, located in Perth, Western Australia, is one of the oldest and most prestigious mints in the world, with a rich history that dates back to the late 19th century. It was established in 1899 as a branch of Britain's Royal Mint in response to the discovery of rich gold deposits in Western Australia. Its primary purpose was to refine gold mined in the region and to mint gold sovereigns and half sovereigns for use throughout the British Empire.

The Perth Mint played a crucial role in the development of Western Australia's gold industry, providing a local facility for gold refining and coin production that significantly contributed to the economic growth of the region. Over the years, it has evolved to become a leader in the precious metals industry, offering a wide range of services including gold and silver bullion bars and coins, precious metal refining, and jewellry.

After Australia gained independence, the Perth Mint continued its operations and, in 1970, it became wholly owned by the Government of Western Australia. Since then, it has expanded its offerings to include commemorative coins, investment products, and a wealth of services for precious metals storage, management, and distribution.

Notably, The Perth Mint has set several world records, including producing the world's largest gold coin in 2011, weighing one tonne and featuring a kangaroo design. It also operates one of the largest LBMA (London Bullion Market Association) accredited gold refineries in the world.

The mint is also a significant tourist attraction, offering visitors insights into Australia's gold mining history, the chance to view Australia’s largest collection of natural gold nuggets, and live demonstrations of traditional gold pouring.

Swan Bullion Company is proud to be an authorised distributor for both The Perth Mint bullion and numismatic products.
