History

The Australian Swan Series from Perth Mint capitalizes on the significance of this species in Western Australia. The city now known as Perth was originally founded along the banks of the Swan River as the Swan River Colony. Today, the state flag of Western Australia features a graceful swan, and the Perth Mint uses an extremely elegant swan design for its logo.
