The Perth Mint, established in 1899, originally was another Royal Mint location but later became what is now considered one of the master mints. Understandably steeped in the traditional ways of producing coins and bullion, the mint has gone on to prove they can evolve and employ modern techniques as well showing masterful use of color and gilding. Over the years the Perth Mint has gone from just making coins for Australia’s legal tender to setting trends in coins and bullion.
Don’t miss out on your opportunity to get the 2022 Australian 2 oz Silver Lunar Tiger. These coins have proven to be very popular and everyone will be looking for them.
