Happy #worldcoinwednesday, Stackers and Hivers!!! And thank you for letting me share my love for silver coins, specifically the newest release and one of the most beautifully designed Silver Swan coin!
The Silver bullion Swan was first launched in 2017. The designs vary each year, much like the Koala and Kookaburra coin series from the Perth Mint.
Here are the links to the previous articles on this series:
The coin featured in this article portrays a stunning new design capturing the majestic bird’s grace and beauty, a spectacular impression of a swan landing on water. In Australia these magnificent creature are characterised by distinctive black plumage... the Black Swan.

Obverse
The Jody Clark likeness of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the monetary denomination and the 2020 year-date are depicted.
This bullion series has become my most favorite of designs from the Perth Mint. I must admit that when it first came out in 2017, I bought the newly introduced coin not only because it was beautiful, but because I was swayed by the hype around this coin.
It is now considered a worthwhile collectible bullion, and I am glad that I purchased the first coin in the series and the succeeding coins as the coins were released. As of today, the BU Swans are still available at these prices:
