Obverse

The obverse of the 2018 Australian Gold Swans features Queen Elizabeth II’s effigy. Created by Ian Rank-Broadley in 1998, this right-profile portrait shows the Queen wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara, and it has been used on British and Commonwealth coinage for years.

Reverse

On the reverse side of the 2018 1 oz Gold Swan Coin, an adult swan swims gracefully with its young cygnet. The young bird, covered in down, stays close to its parent, reflecting the protective and guiding nature of swans. This image captures the serene and nurturing environment essential for the cygnet’s growth.

History

Each year’s Swan design brings something new and special. Female swans, known as pens, usually take the lead in building the nest, though the male (called a cob) assists. The female lays between 3 to 9 eggs, which she incubates for about 34 to 45 days. During this period, the male guards the nest, ensuring the safety of the eggs from predators and other threats.
