2024 Australian 125th Perth Mint Anniversary 1 oz Bullion Coins

The Perth Mint

The Perth Mint was established in 1899 during the peak of the Western Australian gold rush. Its primary purpose was to mint Australian gold into British sovereigns, a role it fulfilled until 1931, striking a total of 106 million gold sovereigns.

As such, it is Australia's oldest mint still producing bullion coins. It is one of the world's most active mints in both bullion and collectors coins, producing gold, silver, and platinum coins for its native Australia, and other countries.

Kangaroo Nugget Bullion Coins

In 2015 the Perth Mint, in Australia, stopped production of the 1oz silver bullion crocodile coin and instead replaced it with the silver Kangaroo range in 2016.

Gold Kangaroos coins were originally known as Nuggets due to the reverse designs of famous gold nuggets that had been discovered in Australia. Even though the design changed to a Kangaroo in 1990 the name stuck and they are still referred to as Nuggets as well as Kangaroos.

The Perth Mint first issued Silver Kookaburra coins in 1990, featuring the Kookaburra, the largest known kingfishers.
