In choosing gold bullion to invest into, discriminating consumers are aware of purity, security, and value. The Perth Mint coin offerings of Australian gold coins are superior in all these categories, in terms of making a strong investment case in any precious metals portfolio.
The coins of Australian gold bullion are made of 24-karat gold, 99.99. This differentiates them with most other global bullion coins such as the famous American Gold Eagle which is produced to a 22-karat, or 91.67 purity, standard. This increased fineness translates to the fact that when you buy one Australian Gold Kangaroo weighing one ounce, you have just purchased one full troy ounce of pure gold in a coin that has been proven and trusted the world over. This dedication to the standard of utmost purity makes it a favourite with investors who want the purest exposure to the value of gold.
The Perth Mint has adopted the latest security measures in its bullion coins in a world that is becoming increasingly sophisticated at counterfeiting to safeguard your own investment. An important element of some of the newer issues, including the Gold Kangaroo, is the introduction of a micro-laser engraved letter into the design.
This is a mark that can only be observed through a magnifying glass. It is extremely hard to imitate and it offers a potent authentication method. Also, coins of the mint all carry the classic mintmark of the 'P' as a symbol of quality and origin. These characteristics give investors unparalleled confidence and peace of mind.
Whereas most sovereign bullion coins have consistently used the same design each year, the flagship line of the Perth Mint such as the Gold Kangaroo and Gold Lunar coins has changed every year on their reverse side. This has brought in a component of collectibility, or numismatic value to the coins.
Certain designs or years of lower mintages may over time become more desirably collected by the collector, and may be sold at a premium price above their underlying gold value. This provides the investor with a two-fold appreciation opportunity; an appreciation relative to the changing price of gold and the other on the rarity and the demand of the coins as collectibles.
The Australian gold bullion coins are all of official legal tender by the Australian Currency Act 1965. The Government of Western Australia guarantees their weight and purity and is the full owner of the Perth Mint. This royal assurance puts them in the same elite group of other main government bullion coinage and they are guaranteed to be liquid and accepted by dealers and investors worldwide.
The Perth Mint has a number of popular gold coin series in the world that make a distinct appeal to investors and collectors. Knowing the features of each series will help you make a good investment choice.
The Gold Kangaroo is the most popular bullion coin in Australia. Its history dates back to 1987 when it was launched as the Australian Gold Nugget, early designs bearing the name of renowned gold nuggets that were found in Australia. In 1989, the mint changed the design to a more international symbolic image of Australia; the kangaroo. After this transformation, the reverse design has changed one year after another depicting the iconic marsupial in different natural environments.
The obverse is always inscribed with an effigy of the then-ruling British monarch. The series is characterized by the evidence-like end and can be presented in a broad variety of sizes, which is why it is affordable to different levels of expenditure.
The Australian Gold Lunar Series, commemorating the creatures of the ancient Chinese zodiac, was first issued in 1996. A 12 year cycle is followed by the zodiac which is marked by various animals. This program by the Perth Mint is so hugely popular that it is now in its third version:
The major distinction in the Lunar Series is the design is not the same on both the gold and the silver coins of that year, making them even more unique and valuable to the collectors. They command great demand as the coins have not only.9999 gold content but also have a significant value when given as a gift to a person born in the year of an animal.

In addition to the two flagship series, other coins that are regarded highly by the Perth Mint are other gold coins such as:
Gold Koala / Kookaburra: These series have had a few gold issues, but are more common in silver, and collectors love them due to their gorgeous wildlife patterns.
Wedge-Tailed Eagle: The series was developed by the former U.S. Mint Chief Engraver, John Mercanti and consists of active illustrations of the biggest bird of prey in Australia and has been very popular both in gold and silver.
The Perth Mint was established in 1899 as a branch of the Royal Mint of Britain but its history is full of events during the Australian gold rushes. Now Government-owned, it is the oldest operating mint in the country and has gained an international reputation of excellence, innovation and integrity. The mint is a recognized refiner in the Good Delivery List of the London bullion market association (LBMA) and its products can be relied upon and traded internationally.
