The Perth Mint is Australia's official bullion mint and a world leader in gold, silver, and platinum coins and bars. It is Australia’s largest fully integrated, innovative precious metals enterprise, providing premium gold, silver, and platinum products and services to markets throughout the world. The Perth Mint is owned by the Western Australian Government and is the world’s only government-owned and guaranteed precious metals enterprise.
Established on 20 June 1899, two years before Australia's Federation in 1901, the Perth Mint was the last of three Australian colonial branches of the United Kingdom's Royal Mint (after the now-defunct Sydney Mint and Melbourne Mint) intended to refine gold from the gold rushes and to mint gold sovereigns and half-sovereigns for the British Empire.
The Perth Mint offers a variety of services including:
- Collector coins: Discover pure gold, silver, and platinum coins from The Perth Mint.
- Bullion: Buy gold, silver, and platinum bullion coins, cast and minted bars.
- Buy and sell gold: Sell your gold jewelry, bullion, nuggets, and coins. Buy gold and silver in-store.
- Investors: Buy gold, silver, and platinum bullion coins, bars, and storage products from the mint that refines and manufactures.
