| Additional information |
The Australian Gold Swan series launched in 2016 as Perth Mint's answer to the saturated bullion market, differentiating itself through an annually changing reverse design — a deliberate commercial strategy to drive collector demand alongside pure bullion buying. Charles III's accession in September 2022 triggered a mint-wide portrait transition across all Australian coinage, making any 2026-dated issue carrying his effigy part of the first wave of Perth's bullion series to complete a full calendar year under the new obverse.
The Jody Clark portrait used here was originally sculpted for the Royal Mint in 2015, while Elizabeth II was still on the throne.
