2024 Rubik’s Cube 50th Anniversary 2oz Silver Coin
A well-recognised global toy, Rubik’s ® Cube is fun for the whole family. Each face of a Rubik’s ® Cube comprises nine coloured squares. At the start of the puzzle, the squares are arranged so that each face is uniformly coloured – yellow, white, blue, green, orange, or red. An internal pivot mechanism, which allows each face to be twisted or turned independently, is used to scramble the 54 coloured squares, which must then be returned to their original configuration to complete the puzzle.
Inspiring a global craze with puzzlers everywhere keen to have a go, those who took it most seriously studied techniques and strategies to help solve the Rubik’s ® Cube as quickly as possible. As of July 2023, the world record of solving a 3×3 cube had been set to stand at a remarkable 3.13 seconds.
The Perth Mint is pleased to present this unique Rubik’s™ Cube collectable coin. Encased in the coin’s centre is a rotating 24-carat gold-plated representative model of a Rubik’s ® Cube.
Struck by The Perth Mint from 2oz of 99.99% pure silver, the coin is issued as legal tender under the authority of the Government of Tuvalu.
The Perth Mint will release no more than 3,000 of the Rubik’s™ Cube 50th Anniversary 2024 2oz Silver Antiqued Coloured Coin.

ABOUT THE PERTH MINT
The Perth Mint, located in Perth, Western Australia, is one of the oldest and most prestigious mints in the world, with a rich history that dates back to the late 19th century. It was established in 1899 as a branch of Britain's Royal Mint in response to the discovery of rich gold deposits in Western Australia. Its primary purpose was to refine gold mined in the region and to mint gold sovereigns and half sovereigns for use throughout the British Empire.
The Perth Mint played a crucial role in the development of Western Australia's gold industry, providing a local facility for gold refining and coin production that significantly contributed to the economic growth of the region. Over the years, it has evolved to become a leader in the precious metals industry, offering a wide range of services including gold and silver bullion bars and coins, precious metal refining, and jewellry.
After Australia gained independence, the Perth Mint continued its operations and, in 1970, it became wholly owned by the Government of Western Australia. Since then, it has expanded its offerings to include commemorative coins, investment products, and a wealth of services for precious metals storage, management, and distribution.
Notably, The Perth Mint has set several world records, including producing the world's largest gold coin in 2011, weighing one tonne and featuring a kangaroo design. It also operates one of the largest LBMA (London Bullion Market Association) accredited gold refineries in the world.
The mint is also a significant tourist attraction, offering visitors insights into Australia's gold mining history, the chance to view Australia’s largest collection of natural gold nuggets, and live demonstrations of traditional gold pouring.
Swan Bullion Company is proud to be an authorised distributor for both The Perth Mint bullion and numismatic products.
