Perth Mint 100 gram Gold Bar (New in Assay)

Australian Government Gold, by the Hundred Grams

The Perth Mint opened in Western Australia in 1899, first as a branch of Britain’s Royal Mint, and has been wholly owned by the Government of Western Australia since the state took it over in 1970. This listing delivers a bar new, sealed in the Mint’s own CertiCard packaging. Every bar holds 100 grams, 3.215 troy ounces, of 99.99% pure gold, at a lower premium per ounce than the Mint’s own 1 oz bar.

The Swan and the Kangaroos, Scaled Up

The obverse carries the same Perth Mint swan emblem used across the Mint’s whole minted-bar range, ringed by the Mint’s name with the weight and purity stamped below. The reverse repeats a field of stylised kangaroos across the full surface, the Mint’s standard reverse for every minted bar size it sells. One hundred grams, carrying the identical house design the Mint uses on its smaller bars, just on more metal.

A Bigger Bar Trades Differently Than a 1 oz Bar

Buying at 100 grams instead of ten separate 1 oz bars lowers the premium you pay per ounce, since the Mint spreads its striking and packaging cost across more metal in one piece. The tradeoff runs the other way at resale: you’re selling one large piece of gold at once instead of pieces you can move a bit at a time. One bar, one sale, not ten separate transactions.

Checked by Serial, Backed by the Mint

Confirming a Perth Mint bar comes down to matching the serial number on the bar to the one on its sealed CertiCard, which also carries a luminescent UV feature that prints “seal broken” across the card if the packaging is ever disturbed. At 99.99% fine, the bar also clears the IRS’s minimum for a precious metals IRA. The serial is the check, matched bar to card.

Perth Mint 100 Gram Gold Bar FAQ

Is the Perth Mint 100 Gram Gold Bar IRA eligible?

Yes. At 99.99% fine, it clears the IRS’s .995 minimum for a precious metals IRA with plenty of room to spare. Eligibility isn’t a close call, given how far past the floor it sits.

How can I confirm this bar is genuine?

Match the serial number struck into the bar against the number printed on its sealed CertiCard. The card’s UV ink also reveals if the seal was ever broken. The serial number matches, bar to card, on a genuine piece.

Why does a 100 gram bar cost less per ounce than a 1 oz bar?

Striking and packaging a bar costs the Mint roughly the same whether the bar holds one ounce or over three, so that fixed cost spreads across more metal on the larger piece. More metal, same overhead, is what lowers the per-ounce premium.

What’s the difference between this bar and a Perth Mint cast 100 gram bar?

This is the Mint’s minted bar: struck rather than poured, carrying the swan and kangaroo design and sealed in a serialized CertiCard. The Mint’s separate cast 100 gram bar is poured into a mold instead, with a plainer, unstruck surface. This one is struck, not poured.

What condition does it ship in?

New, straight from the Mint with no handling in between. Condition is new, not a numeric or third-party grade.
