The Perth Mint
Australia's The Perth Mint is Australia's oldest operating facility. It was originally founded as part of The Royal Mint system during British colonial rule, and then handed over to government control upon founding Western Australia in 1829. The Perth Mint is not affiliated with the federal government’s Royal Australian Mint but is still very much an important gold producer for Australia.

The Perth Mint Design
The obverse side of each gold bar features an image of The Perth Mint's logo along with an elegant swan. Featured in the center of a circle, the swan is bordered by engravings that read "Perth Mint Australia." The bar's purity, metal content and weight are inscribed below.

The reverse side of these 10 oz The Perth Mint gold bars has a recurring design of jumping kangaroos. Both the official logo and kangaroos feature a deeply mirrored finish, giving the design sets a distinct appearance that stands out from the matte finish of the bar itself.

The History of Australian Gold
Each 10 oz gold bar from The Perth Mint is stamped with its distinct swan logo, originated from the city of Perth, which was established on the Swan River. By purchasing gold bars at The Perth Mint, you can delve into the history of Australia’s oldest operating mint and the largest refinery. The Australian gold comes from nearby open-cast pits at Kalgoorlie and Boddington, Australia’s two major mine sites. Gold bullion bars from The Perth Mint helped pay for the growth and development of Western Australia, from the discovery of gold in 1899 through today.

Investing in Australian Gold Bars
A 10 oz gold bar is a significant investment, so it pays to be sure about the authenticity of the product. When buying gold bars from Australia, look for the distinctive swan of The Perth Mint, a government guarantee of weight and quality. Australian gold is stamped with the bar’s weight and purity as well as a serial number for identification. Gold bullion bars are also stamped with the London Bullion Market Association registered mark, a certification of the mint’s expertise in making fine gold bullion bars.

A 10 oz gold bar from The Perth Mint can be acquired as a gold bullion cast bar or as a gold bullion minted bar. When buying gold bars, it helps to know the difference: gold cast bars tend to have the lowest premium over spot price while gold minted bars focus more on finish and appearance, increasing their beauty and appeal. Australian gold bars come in a range of sizes, depending on the finish, from as big as 1 kg to as little as 1/2 oz. Gold bullion bars produced by government mints are favored by many investors because the bullion bars are guaranteed by governments and are difficult to counterfeit because of their thin size.

Buying a 10 oz gold bar is an easy way to invest in gold, whether you add this gold bullion to your investments maintained at home or you add it to your Precious Metals IRA, which operates similarly to standard IRAs. These gold bars with .9999 fine gold more than qualify for an IRA, and if you need to start an IRA, just contact APMEX and we will help you find a custodian, which is required before you invest in an IRA. While your Australian gold bullion and other precious metal bullion are in the IRA, you will not have to pay taxes on any profits. Before removing your gold bullion bars and other precious metals from the IRA, you will want to consult your tax advisor about any tax liabilities.
