The Perth Mint is Australia’s official bullion mint and wholly owned by the Government of Western Australia. Established on 20 June 1899, two years before Australia’s Federation in 1901, the Perth Mint was the last of three Australian colonial branches of the United Kingdom’s Royal Mint (after the now-defunct Sydney Mint and Melbourne Mint) intended to refine gold from the gold rushes and to mint gold sovereigns and half-sovereigns for the British Empire.

Along with the Royal Australian Mint, which produces coins of the Australian dollar for circulation, the Perth Mint is the older of Australia’s two mints issuing coins that are legal tender.

The Perth Mint Gold Tour includes a guided walk through our world-class exhibition where you can view the world’s largest gold coin and witness a mesmerising live gold pour.

 With an awe-inspiring mix of stories, interactive displays and challenges, you’ll be in no doubt as to why The Perth Mint is a premier tourist attraction in Western Australia. 

The iconic site in the heart of Perth is more than a premier tourist attraction. Discover a stunning selection of jewellery, tours and attractions, shopping, sell your gold jewellery or trade precious metals.
