What do we pay for a gold Australian Swan?
Based on the gold rate of this moment, €119.52 per gram of fine material. As of:
| Variant | Fine gold | Total weight | We pay |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 oz | 31.104 g | — | €3,717.64 |
This price applies regardless of the year and the mint. With a rare year or exceptional condition the collector’s value can be higher than the material value – then we say so, even if that means you are better off not selling us the coin.
How we arrive at this amount
A coin is precious metal in a recognisable shape. What it fetches therefore depends almost entirely on the fine weight: the weight of pure gold it contains.
This coin is 999.9‰ (24 carat) pure, so the fine weight and the total weight are almost the same.
The Perth Mint’s swan appears every year in a new design and in a limited mintage.
Not sure whether your coin is genuine? We check weight, diameter, thickness and – if in doubt – the density with X-ray analysis. Non-destructive: your coin stays intact.

A sister to the silver swan
The gold Swan followed the silver version in 2017, which had sold out within days that same year. The first gold year was limited to 5,000 coins, and later years also appear in small numbers.
Recognising and valuing it
The reverse spells out weight and fineness in full: 1oz 9999, with the Perth Mint’s P mint mark. That makes the coin easy to check. We weigh, measure and test the fineness, and settle on the ounce of gold.
A limited mintage does not automatically mean a higher purchase price. We value the gold and tell you if a particular year comes out above it.
How to sell your gold Australian Swan
From walking in to being paid usually takes less than half an hour.
Do not polish it
With collector coins, cleaning can push the value down considerably. A natural patina belongs to them.
Bring it in
With or without an appointment, at one of our 45 locations. If the coin is in a holder, leave it in there.
We assess two values
The precious metal and what the coin itself does: year, mintage and condition. You get the higher of the two.
Paid out straight away
In cash or by bank transfer. Larger amounts reach your account within 24 hours.
