Perth Mint

The Perth Mint is one of the oldest mints in the world that is still in production. Its history dates back to 1899 and it is the last branch of the Royal Mint in the UK that is still in operation in Australia. Walking into the mint is like stepping into a world of gold. Here you will find a huge gold coin weighing over 1,000 kg and worth AUD 139 million, certified by the Guinness Book of World Records; an exhibition of natural gold nuggets mined in Australia, where you can touch a gold bar worth AUD 200,000 with your own hands. Visitors can visit the elegant and dignified protected buildings, exhibition halls, and smelting rooms, watch the operation of the alchemy furnace and alchemist on site, and enjoy the wonderful process of melting gold into gold water, pouring it into molds, and then quenching it into gold bars. The mint not only provides refining services for the gold industry, but also produces a variety of legal tender precious metal coins, such as the Australian Nugget Gold Coin, the Australian Platinum Koala Coin, and the Australian Silver Kookaburra Coin. The mint offers a wide range of experiences for visitors, including making commemorative coins on site, guided tours of historical heritage knowledge, and the opportunity to purchase a variety of commemorative coins, natural gold nuggets, and exquisite jewelry. It is a place with a long history and unique charm, and one that is truly impressive: The century-old mint is full of charm, and the Perth Mint is a shining example of this. The brilliance of gold reflects the light, and the craftsmanship is a testament to the years. The blazing furnace burns with passion, and the gold is forged through a thousand trials. The history is still here, and the cultural treasures will last forever. Perth Mint
