| Reverse description | A high-relief depiction of a black swan bathing on open water, its wings dramatically raised and spread, neck curved forward with beak pointing downward toward the rippled surface below. Water droplets scatter across the field, and a large orb accompanied by smaller spheres fills the upper left field, evoking a celestial or moonlit atmosphere. The engraver's initials AH appear in the lower right of the inner field, and the Perth Mint's commemorative privy mark P125 is inscribed to the right. The upper legend reads 2024 1OZ 9999 AUSTRALIAN and the lower legend reads GOLD SWAN, both arcing along the raised border. |

| Additional information |
The Australian Gold Swan series, running since 2017, has built a collector following largely on the strength of its annually rotating reverse designs — unusual for a bullion-adjacent program that most mints treat as set-and-forget. This 2024 issue also marks the first year Perth committed the swan series to Charles III obverse portraiture following the Queen's death in September 2022, making it a transitional document in the series' history regardless of the reverse treatment.
High relief proofs from Perth's 2024 program were struck on polished blanks with multiple die passes, a process that noticeably deepens field contrast on coins of this diameter.
