About The Perth Mint:
Situated in Perth, Western Australia, The Perth Mint is one of the world's most venerable and celebrated mints. Its origins date back to the late 1800s. The Mint was formed in 1899 as an extension of the Royal Mint of Britain following the discovery of significant gold reserves in Western Australia. The Mint's initial duty was to purify the gold extracted locally and manufacture gold sovereigns and half-sovereigns for circulation around the British Empire.
The Perth Mint was instrumental in the evolution of the gold industry in Western Australia, establishing a pivotal refining and coinage facility that significantly bolstered the local economy. Over time, it has become a prominent institution in the global precious metals market, setting standards and shaping trends. It offers a comprehensive array of products and services, including the fabrication of gold and silver bullion, coins, refining services, and jewellery.
Post-independence, The Perth Mint remained functioning and wholly owned by the Western Australian Government in 1970. Subsequently, it has enlarged its scope to include commemorative coins and numerous financial items, with significant services in storing, managing, and distributing precious metals.
The Mint is famous for setting world records, such as manufacturing the largest gold coin in the world in 2011, a one-tonne piece ornamented with a kangaroo. It also maintains one of the biggest gold refineries globally, recognised by the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA).
Additionally, The Perth Mint is a popular tourist site. It allows tourists to gain insight into Australia's rich history of gold mining, access the country's largest display of genuine gold nuggets, and experience live gold pouring demonstrations.
