The Perth Mint
Founded by the Australian government in 1899, the Perth Mint began as a branch of the British Royal Mint, producing gold sovereigns for the British Empire. After closing its Sydney and Melbourne branches, the British Empire centralized gold coin production in Perth, which struck over 110 million gold coins by 1931.
The Perth Mint continued pioneering the production of high-quality gold bullion bars and achieved milestones like the first .999999 fine gold proof plate in 1957. In 1970, the Perth Mint became fully independent from British ownership, expanding its presence in the global bullion market.
Today, the Perth Mint is Australia’s official government mint, refining around 80% of the country’s gold and producing bullion coins and bars for investors worldwide. It is one of the few national mints known for producing some of the industry's most trusted and sought-after bullion products.
