Perth Mint 50 gram Gold Bar (New in Assay)

The Perth Mint has operated under Australian government guarantee since 1899, making it one of the oldest and most trusted sovereign mints still in production anywhere in the world. Its gold bars are accepted in bullion markets globally and carry a level of institutional recognition that privately minted bars rarely match. At 50 grams — just over 1.6 troy ounces — this bar represents a substantial gold holding that sits between common one-ounce coins and the full kilo bar format, making it a practical choice for investors who want significant weight without the outlay of larger denominations.

Key Features:

• Gold Content & Purity: 50 grams (1.607 troy oz) of .9999 fine gold (99.99% pure)
• Metal: Gold
• Obverse Design: The Perth Mint’s iconic swan logo within a circular medallion at the top; inscribed “THE PERTH MINT AUSTRALIA,” “99.99% PURE GOLD,” and “50 GRAM”
• Reverse Design: A repeating pattern of kangaroos in flowing stride across the full bar face, with two larger kangaroo silhouettes prominently featured at the upper portion; bar number printed on the assay card above
• Packaging: Sealed in a Perth Mint tamper-evident assay case; assay card reverse confirms gold content (1.607 troy oz), fineness (99.99%), minimum gross weight (50g), and a unique bar number

The obverse is clean and authoritative. The Perth Mint’s swan — one of the most recognized hallmarks in international bullion trading — sits within a finely detailed circular emblem at the top of the bar’s face. Below it, “99.99% PURE GOLD” and “50 GRAM” are struck in clear, bold lettering against a polished field. The presentation is deliberately understated, letting the hallmark and purity do the work without unnecessary ornamentation.

The reverse takes a more distinctive approach. A repeating pattern of kangaroos fills the entire bar face — the animals rendered mid-stride in a flowing, almost tessellated arrangement that covers the surface from edge to edge. Two larger kangaroo silhouettes appear more prominently at the top, breaking the pattern with a sense of depth. The design connects this bar to Australia’s broader national identity while giving it a visual character that sets Perth Mint bars apart from the plain reverses common among European and North American refiners.

Each bar ships sealed inside the Perth Mint’s proprietary tamper-evident assay case — a matte black presentation card with the mint’s branding on both faces. The assay card’s reverse panel displays full technical specifications: gold content in troy ounces, fineness percentage, minimum gross weight, and a unique bar number for individual traceability. The bar number shown on the assay card example reads C000001, confirming the serialization applied to each bar.
