2025 SpongeBob SquarePants 1g Gold Minted Bar

In the underwater city of Bikini Bottom, SpongeBob SquarePants is the fry cook at fast food restaurant The Krusty Krab. Responsible for preparing its popular Krabby Patty, SpongeBob’s life revolves around a wacky ensemble of marine characters – customers, co-workers, friends, and rivals – with whom he shares many madcap adventures.

In this absurd world, where his home is a pineapple shared with a pet snail that meows like a cat, the animated chronicles of the optimistic and enthusiastic yellow sea sponge represent an undisguised celebration of innocent nonsense.

Struck by The Perth Mint from 1g of 99.99% pure gold, The Perth Mint will release no more than 5,000 of the SpongeBob SquarePants 2025 1g Gold Minted Bar.

DESIGN

The back of the bar is stamped with The Perth Mint’s London Bullion Market Association registered mark, a stylised swan symbolising our 125 year-old reputation for quality. The bar’s weight, purity and fineness appear on a patterned background.

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.
