The Perth Mint has been around since 1899 during the gold rush. The mint is owned by the government of Western Australia.
It was originally established as one of the colonial branches of the Royal Mint of the United Kingdom.
The Perth Mint was created for refining gold from the Australian gold rush and to mint gold Sovereign and gold half-Sovereign coins for the British Empire.
Today, the Perth Mint produces silver and gold bullion coins that are legal tender in Australia.
The Perth Mint is considered a premium manufacturer and produces some of the most beautiful silver and gold bullion coins sold today.
Many of the coins produced by the mint are produced in limited mintage and are sought out by collectors. These premium coins often appreciate in value over time.
