Gold coins remain among the most sought-after assets for collectors and investors looking to sell precious metals. Gold holds its status as a global standard in the industry. Numerous sovereign and private mints worldwide produce gold bullion coins, with Australia’s Perth Mint being one of the most respected. At DEIGOLDANDSILVERCOINS, we buy a wide range of Australian gold bullion coins from sellers across the country.
Australia has two main minting facilities producing gold coins. The state-owned Perth Mint stands out with its internationally recognized annual bullion releases and the celebrated Gold Lunar Series coins. These include the iconic Australian Gold Kangaroo, Australian Gold Kookaburra, and Australian Gold Koala, all of which we purchase from customers.
Historically, during British colonial rule, Australia’s vast gold and silver reserves were mined and refined locally to supply the empire. The Royal Mint of London set up a minting network here, including the Sydney Mint (opened 1855, closed 1926), Melbourne Mint (opened 1872, closed 1967), and finally the Perth Mint, which began operations in 1899 and remains Australia’s oldest active mint.
Today, Perth Mint is known worldwide as a premier precious metals refiner and coin producer. Since its founding, it has refined and produced over 3% of global gold output. Now a state-owned entity of Western Australia, the Perth Mint coins carry legal tender status under the Currency Act of 1965, though it operates independently of the Royal Australian Mint.
Since the launch of the Australian Gold Nugget/Kangaroo in 1986, Perth Mint coins have featured changing monarch portraits:
The Koala coin series began with silver in 2007, followed by gold in 2008. These coins share design themes focused on the koala and eucalyptus leaves, changing annually to keep collectors interested. Gold Koalas are produced in proof only, unlike their silver counterparts, which have both bullion and proof versions.
Gold Koalas come in select sizes: 2 oz, 1 oz high-relief proof, 1/10 oz, and 1/25 oz. We purchase these coins, including certified and raw examples, offering competitive market rates.
Originally launched as the Australian Gold Nugget in 1987 with a gold nugget design, this series switched to the kangaroo motif in 1989. The Perth Mint releases a new kangaroo design annually, capturing the animal in its natural Outback habitat. Each year’s coin is struck in .9999 pure gold and reflects a fresh design contribution from Perth Mint artists and engravers.
We buy these Australian Gold Kangaroo coins, recognizing their collector appeal and investment-grade purity.
The Australian Gold Kookaburra series is the gold counterpart to the long-running silver Kookaburra coins, introduced in 1990. Each year features a unique design showcasing the kookaburra bird in its natural environment.
The coins display the inscription “Australian Kookaburra” alongside weight, purity, and metal content. We welcome sellers offering these coins in any condition or certification.
Across all series, Perth Mint Gold Lunar Coins share common features: they are struck in .9999 fine gold and hold legal tender status in Australia. The latest series launched in 2020 and will continue through 2031, with various weights available for purchase.
Perth Mint pioneered unique gold bullion formats, including rectangular coins introduced during the Lunar Series II (2008–2019). In 2018, it launched Australia’s first legal-tender rectangular gold bullion coins, starting with the Australian Rectangular Dragon Gold Series.
The dragon design changes annually, highlighting unique background elements. We purchase these rare rectangular coins directly from owners.
Launched in 2014 as silver coins and expanded to gold in 2016, the Wedge Tail Eagle series features designs by John Mercanti, former Chief Engraver of the US Mint. The 1/10 oz gold coins are popular among investors. The reverse designs have varied over the years, with unique motifs released since 2018.
DEIGOLDANDSILVERCOINS buys all available Australian Gold Wedge Tail Eagle coins, in proof and bullion formats.
