Perth Mint Cast Gold Bar (New) 5 oz

The Perth Mint was established in 1899 as a branch of Britain’s Royal Mint, specifically to refine gold from Western Australia’s booming goldfields and strike sovereign coins for the British Empire. Located in the heart of Perth, the facility was the third branch of the Royal Mint to be established in Australia, following Sydney and Melbourne. Today, Perth Mint is known as one of the finest gold refiners in the world. Right now, 5 oz Perth Mint Cast Gold Bars are available at Laska Interiors.

Each 5 oz Perth Mint Cast Gold Bar is available here with protective plastic. Cast gold bars such as these are the most economical option when it comes to purchasing physical gold. Cast bars are refined by melting precise amounts of gold in moulds with specific shapes. The resulting product has incuse-stamped hallmarks and designs, with a blank back.

The discovery of gold in the Perth region of Western Australia began in earnest during the 1880s and 1890s, transforming the struggling Swan River Colony into a booming frontier. While small finds had been reported earlier, the major rush began in 1887 when significant deposits were discovered in the Southern Cross area, about 370 kilometers east of Perth. This was followed by even more spectacular discoveries at Coolgardie in 1892 and Kalgoorlie in 1893, with the latter becoming one of the richest goldfields in the world.

The obverse of the Perth Mint Cast Gold Bar comes with all of the identifying hallmarks and designs on the bar. The Perth Mint logo, a circular seal with an elegant swan, is at the top of the design field. Beneath this, you’ll find the serial number, weight, and purity of the bar. On the reverse, 5 oz Perth Mint Cast Gold Bars are blank.
