Perth Mint 1oz Gold Cast Bar

Name: Perth Mint 1oz Gold Cast Bar
Brand: Perth Mint
SKU: XX01DPX
Availability: InStock

The Perth Mint 1oz Cast Gold Bar is a traditional investment-grade gold bullion bar produced by The Perth Mint in Australia. It contains 1 troy ounce (31.11 g) of 99.99% pure gold and is made using a casting process where molten gold is poured into a mold, giving each bar a slightly unique, handcrafted look. Buying cast bullion (bars made by pouring molten metal into molds) has a few distinct advantages over minted bullion (machine-pressed bars) and coins, depending on your goals.

Key benefits of cast bullion

Lower premium over spot price. Cast bars are cheaper to manufacture than minted bars or coins. You usually pay less above the metal’s spot price, especially for larger sizes (1 kg, 100 oz, etc.). This makes cast bullion attractive if your main goal is maximizing metal weight for your money.

Best for bulk metal ownership

Ideal for investors focused on long-term storage of precious metals, not aesthetics. Commonly used by institutional investors and serious stackers.

Simple, no-frills production

Fewer manufacturing steps = lower costs. Less branding, polishing, or detailed design work compared to minted bars and coins.

Often larger size availability

Cast bullion is more common in large-format bars, which further reduces premiums per ounce.

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.
