About the Perth Mint
The Perth Mint, established in 1899 and now owned by the Government of Western Australia, is one of the world's oldest operating mints. Its bullion programme is notable for the sovereign weight-and-purity guarantee that backs every coin produced — a feature that distinguishes Perth Mint output from purely private refiner brands.
Range available to UK investors
The flagship bullion product for UK buyers is the Australian Kangaroo, struck in 9999 fine gold and silver. The design changes annually, which has historically driven secondary-market collector interest alongside its primary function as an investment coin. Common formats include 1oz gold and 1oz silver.
UK tax position
Perth Mint bullion coins are not UK legal tender, so they do not qualify for capital gains tax exemption when sold by UK residents. Investment gold Kangaroos are VAT-exempt under HMRC rules; silver Kangaroos carry 20% VAT. UK investors prioritising CGT efficiency often compare Perth Mint coins against UK-issued legal tender coins which offer that exemption.
