Perth Mint Gold Bars

About Perth Mint Gold Bars

The Perth Mint in Western Australia was set up in 1899 as a branch of the British Royal Mint, primarily to refine gold whihc had been discovered in the area, and coin it into gold sovereigns. Perth Mint is the oldest existing Australian mint, and has always specialised in precious metals, particularly gold. The Perth Mint’s coins are valued for their high quality finish and purity. Their legal tender status means their precious metal content is guaranteed by the Commonwealth Government of Australia. The AGR Matthey stamped bars are primarily manufactured for industrial and wholesale purposes, and are therefore not distributed or retailed like coins. Stamped Perth Mint bars are generally only available in Australia. Representing an exceptionally convenient way to store physical gold all minted bars are priced at a dollar premium over metal.
