Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a minted gold bar and a cast gold bar?
Minted gold bars are produced using precision manufacturing techniques to achieve a smooth, uniform finish with sharp detailing. Cast gold bars are made by pouring molten gold into moulds, giving each bar a more individual appearance. Both formats are available in high-purity gold.
What security features does the 1oz Perth Mint Gold Bar have?
Each bar features an individual serial number and is supplied in tamper-evident assay packaging. The card is designed to provide visible evidence if the packaging has been opened or interfered with.
Why is the 1oz size popular for gold bullion?
One troy ounce is a widely recognised unit for precious metals, making it straightforward to compare gold bars and coins from different mints. The 1oz format also provides a practical balance between gold content, size and ease of storage.
What makes Perth Mint gold bars distinctly Australian?
The Perth Mint has produced Australian precious metal products since 1899. Its minted gold bars feature the iconic swan logo and repeating kangaroo motifs, combining the mint's heritage with recognisable Australian imagery.
