Australia

The Perth Mint is Australia's official bullion mint and wholly owned by the Government of Western Australia. 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. Along with the Royal Australian Mint, which produces coins of the Australian dollar for circulation, The Perth Mint is the older of the two mints issuing coins that are legal tender in Australia.

There are a handful of mints and refineries in this world which are known to the vast majority of precious metal investors and collectors. Known for its annual-release gold and silver coins, the Perth Mint is home to a vast array of bullion products that include limited-run series, proof collectible products, and even gold bars for sale. Perth Mint products enjoy a reputation for excellence worldwide. Regardless of whether the coin is a limited edition intended for discerning collectors or the Australian Silver Kangaroo which is designed for investors and has an annual issuance in the millions, the quality is immediately apparent to anyone picking up the coin.

While the Perth Mint is the official bullion mint of Australia, the Royal Australian Mint produces it's official coinage as well as some collector coins. In 2019, The Royal Australian Mint began production of it's first bullion series, the Australian Dolphin series. Other bullion series may be produced from time to time.
