2025 Australia 5 oz Silver Swan PR-70 PCGS HR (FS, Swan Label)

---

The Swan series, first introduced in 2017, has become a celebrated annual tradition from Australia's oldest operating minting facility, the Perth Mint. The 2025 release marks the ninth overall issue for this annual series. Among these releases, the five-ounce silver proof version holds a special place, with 2025 representing its seventh year of issue since the larger format debuted in 2018. Struck in high relief with a flawless proof finish, this sovereign coin is backed by the Australian government and has a highly restricted mintage of just 500 pieces. On the reverse, the coin features a detailed depiction of a swan with its wings fully spread, set against a tranquil scene of shallow water with mountains rising in the distance under a morning sun. This side also bears the Perth Mint's traditional 'P' mint mark alongside the inscription '2025 5 OZ 9999 AUSTRALIAN SILVER SWAN'. The obverse of the coin displays the modern effigy of King Charles III, designed by Dan Thorne. Surrounding the portrait of the King, the inscriptions declare the face value of 8 Dollars. Crafted from 0.9999 fine silver, this impressive five-ounce coin has been certified in perfect Proof 70 Deep Cameo condition, highlighting the sharp contrast of its high relief design.
