The Perth Mint is one of Australia's oldest operating mints, established in 1899. Today, it functions as a museum and working mint. Visitors can explore the history of gold in Western Australia, watch a live gold pour demonstration, and see a collection of rare coins and nuggets. The highlight is the world's largest gold coin, weighing one tonne. The mint also offers the chance to handle a gold bar and strike your own coin as a souvenir.
Don't miss
- Witness a live gold pour where molten gold is cast into a bar.
- See the one-tonne gold coin, the largest and purest in the world.
- Strike your own commemorative coin to take home.
