The Perth Mint was established in 1899 as a response to the discovery of vast gold deposits in Western Australia, particularly in the Coolgardie and Kalgoorlie regions during the late 19th century gold rush. In 2024, the mint marks its 125^th anniversary with a special P125 mint mark on all of its coins, as well as a special lineup of bullion coins to mark the occasion.

Perth Mint was commissioned by the British government with the aim of refining gold mined in Western Australia and turning it into sovereigns and half-sovereigns for use within the British Empire. In its early years, the Perth Mint primarily produced gold sovereigns and half-sovereigns, which were used as currency in the British Empire. These coins were highly regarded for their purity and quality.

All 2024 1 oz Australian Silver Perth Mint 125^th Anniversary Coins available here come in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. Each coin is housed in an individual capsule and bears the P125 mint mark in honor of the mint’s anniversary.

On the obverse of the 2024 Australian Silver Perth Mint 125^th Anniversary Coins, you’ll find the first-generation effigy of His Majesty King Charles III. Designed by Dan Thorne, this left-profile bust of His Majesty was created in late 2023 and debuted on Perth Mint coinage for the first time with the 2024 date.

The reverse side of 2024 1 oz Silver Perth Mint 125^th Anniversary Coins features a design from Jennifer McKenna honoring the native fauna that serve as the backbone for Perth coinage. Set amidst the golden wattle, Australia’s national floral emblem, the field includes a kangaroo, koala, and a kookaburra.
