20 gram Perth Mint Gold Bar

Description

Perth Minted Gold Bars are meticulously “struck” from 9999 pure gold. Each Minted Gold Bar bears the Mint’s distinctive logo – a majestic swan – on the front. The back of each bar is decorated with kangaroo motifs, symbols of the Australian “outback” where gold has been mined in commercial quantities since 1851.

A great piece for a lower price than most 20-gram bullion it is encased and complete with an assay certificate. Although not the only bullion product the Perth Mint produces it is by far the most fairly priced for those astute investors looking for a better bang per buck.

• Consisting of 20 grams of 9999 Fine Gold

The Perth Mint opened in 1899 as the British Royal Mint’s 3rd branch in Australia. The historical Hay Street location handled gold refining until moving to a modern facility in April 1990. Ownership of the mint was transferred to the Government of Western Australia in July of 1970. Under an agreement with the Commonwealth Treasury, they were empowered to mint and market gold, silver, and platinum as Australian legal tender to investors and collectors worldwide. Today, they are amongst one of the elite world mints whose pure gold, silver, and platinum items are trusted without question. Items such as the Australian Nugget, Silver Coin Series (Kangaroo, Kookaburra, Koala, and Platypus to name a few), as well as the Australian Lunar Gold and Silver Coin Series are extensively sought after by bullion investors worldwide.
