The Perth Mint opened in 1899 as a branch of Britain’s Royal Mint to refine gold from Western Australia’s busy goldfields and strike sovereign coins for the Empire. Based in the city of Perth, it was the third Royal Mint branch in Australia after Sydney and Melbourne. Today, the Perth Mint is recognized worldwide for high-quality refining.

Each 5 oz Perth Mint Cast Gold Bar ships in protective plastic. Cast bars are a cost-effective way to buy physical gold. To make them, refiners pour measured amounts of molten gold into shaped moulds. Once cooled, the bars receive incuse-stamped hallmarks on the face, while the back remains plain.

Gold discoveries in Western Australia took off in the late 1880s and early 1890s, turning the Swan River Colony into a fast-growing region. After smaller finds, a bigger rush began in 1887 near Southern Cross, roughly 370 kilometers east of Perth. Major strikes followed at Coolgardie in 1892 and Kalgoorlie in 1893, with Kalgoorlie becoming one of the world’s richest goldfields.

Obverse designs on the Perth Mint Cast Gold Bar include all key hallmarks. At the top is the Perth Mint logo—a circular seal with a swan—followed by the unique serial number, weight, and purity. The reverse side of 5 oz Perth Mint Cast Gold Bars is blank.
