Gold Bars for Collectors
Mostly the gold bars we sell are intended purely as an investment in gold, and we do not guarantee to supply any specific make of bar, however we get many requests for specific makes or styles of bar for gifts or collectors, and so we try to provide these as an extra service. Naturally we charge extra for supplying specific designs and makes of gold bar. If you wish to buy gold bars at the lowest bullion prices, please see our main Gold Bars For Sale page.

The Perth Mint
The Perth Mint in Western Australia was set up in 1899 as a branch of the British Royal Mint, primarily to refine gold whihc had been discovered in the area, and coin it into gold sovereigns. Although it ceased to produce sovereigns in 1931, and is no longer a branch of the Royal Mint, it remains one of two official government mints in Australia. The Sydney Mint which opened in 1855 closed in 1926, and the Melbourne Mint operated from 1872 to 1931. The newest of the Australian Mints, the Royal Australian Mint was opened in 1965 to handle the large volume of circulation coins which would be needed for Australia's conversion to decimal currency. So the Perth Mint is the oldest existing Australian mint, and has always specialised in precious metals, particularly gold.
We are UK prime distributors for the Perth Mint, and as such, plan to add their gold bar range to our stock range, and a complete list of avaialbe bars will appear here later. Meanwhile we acquired a few 5 ounce Perth Mint gold bars which led us to create this page.
