1 Gram Gold Bar Perth Mint

The 1 Gram Gold Bar Perth Mint offers a compact, trusted way to add .9999 fine gold to a portfolio. Minted by The Perth Mint in Australia and sealed in an assay card, this small-format bar suits investors seeking low entry cost, divisibility, and easy liquidity while comparing premiums across reputable online dealers.

Backed by the Government of Western Australia and accredited by the LBMA, The Perth Mint is known for precise refinery standards and consistent quality control. Each 1 gram bar contains 0.03215 troy ounces of gold, making it useful for incremental stacking, gifting, and fine-tuning position sizes.

Design and Specifications

Obverse: Features The Perth Mint’s signature swan logo with inscriptions for weight and purity (1 g, 9999). The minted finish provides crisp edges and uniform surfaces that clearly display the bar’s specifications.

Reverse: Shows a repeating kangaroo motif—a recognizable Australian symbol that also serves as a visual authentication cue. This pattern, combined with the minted finish, helps deter basic counterfeiting and aids quick identification.

Packaging and security: Each bar arrives sealed in a branded assay card listing the bar’s weight, purity, and unique serial number. The card uses CertiCard tamper-evident technology that reveals a message if the seal is compromised. Bars are undated and struck on an ongoing basis to meet investor demand; there is no stated mintage limit.

Intended use: These 1 gram bars were designed for practical bullion investment—small, divisible units that make dollar-cost averaging straightforward and resale to dealers efficient. They are commonly accepted by bullion buyers and may be eligible for inclusion in self-directed Precious Metals IRAs when held with an approved custodian.
