The Perth Mint
Established in 1899, the Perth Mint is Australia's oldest
operating mint. Originally built to make gold sovereigns for the
British Empire, nowadays the mint produces precious metal coins for
collectors and coin investors. Visitors to the mint will see the
largest collection of natural gold nuggets in Australia, including
the Golden Beauty nugget, as well as watching molten gold being
poured to make bars and the pressing of precious coins. A unique
range of gold jewellery and coins are also available at the Perth
Mint Shop.
