Perth Mint Prime Distributor

Chards is a prime distributor of bullion for the Perth Mint. Our 2024 Year of the Dragon coin range, as well as other Perth Mint products, is sourced directly from their mint headquarters in Western Australia.

Security Authentication Feature

The reverse of the 10 oz, 2 oz, and 1 oz gold coins features a micro-engraved letter (P) that is only detectable with visual aids such as a magnifying glass.

On the gold dragon design, a micro-engraved 'P' letter can be observed on the dragon's ear. This measure is implemented to deter counterfeit coins from being falsely presented as authentic collectible proof coins.

The Star rating should be 5 stars

The Star rating is not just 4 stars but it should have been 5 stars that will not light up, I have spent a lot of time looking on the internet at gold prices most 1oz is mainly at current gold values. However sovereigns have different pricing up to a third more, yet I found Chards prices are very fair prices which I have bought 3 sovereigns this year.

Trusted coin and bullion dealer.

Easy to order on the website from a trusted and established coin and bullion dealer. Item dispatched promptly with insured delivery. Coin received in mint condition with the confidence that the coin received is the genuine article. Chards have a large selection at great prices and are not greedy with the premium on gold coins .
