The Swan series launched in 2016 as a direct commercial response to the Royal Canadian Mint's Maple Leaf and the U.S. Mint's American Silver Eagle — Perth's bid for a recurring bullion program with a rotating reverse design to drive annual collector demand. The 2021 issue is the sixth release in that series. At .9999 fineness, it matches the purity standard Perth established with its Gold Kangaroo program in the 1980s, which was among the first sovereign mint products globally to hit that four-nines threshold.
