The Perth Mint opened on 20 June 1899 at the height of the Western Australian gold rush. Refining the gold and striking 106 million sovereigns over the next three decades, it went on to produce vast quantities of Australian circulating coinage between 1940 and 1984.
With an outstanding reputation for quality, craftsmanship, and efficiency, The Perth Mint returned to its original purpose as a maker of fine gold coins in 1986.
Today, it is renowned for the design and production of some of the world’s most sought after gold, silver, and platinum investor pieces.
The coin portrays a kangaroo, a koala, and a kookaburra, artistically arranged among a representation of golden wattle, Australia’s national floral emblem. The inscription ‘1899 THE PERTH MINT 2024’ appears within a scroll at the foot of the design. The kangaroo, koala, kookaburra and outer ring of the coin are gilded in 24-carat gold. As well as a ‘P125’ mintmark, signifying The Perth Mint’s 125th anniversary, the reverse also includes the coin’s weight, purity, and year-date.
The obverse portrays the Dan Thorne effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, and the coin’s monetary denomination.
The coin is housed in a classic display case with a clear lid. Packaged within an illustrated shipper, each coin is accompanied by a numbered certificate of authenticity.
