The Perth Mint

The Perth Mint is Australia’s oldest operating mint and one of Perth’s premier tourist destinations.

Within its world-class exhibition halls, the history of Western Australian gold, and The Perth Mint, come to life - giving visitors the opportunity to experience the magic of gold.

Be captivated by a traditional gold pour in the Mint’s original 1899 melting house, and marvel at the Guinness World Record holding largest coin weighing one tonne of pure gold - valued at more than $70 million. Handle more than $700,000 worth of gold bullion and marvel at precious metal coins being minted before your eyes.

Design your own medallion and discover the value of your weight in gold, plus you can purchase unique Western Australian treasures including exquisite Argyle pink diamonds and south sea pearls. (Tax-free sales available).

Once you’ve finished the tour, relax with a cup of tea or coffee and a bite to eat in the alfresco café.
