Historical significance

The Perth Mint is Australia's oldest operating mint, established in 1899 as a branch of Britain's Royal Mint. These tokens are sold to visitors to commemorate their visit, often produced on-site as a demonstration of the minting process.

Estimated value

$2.00 - $10.00 USD (Sentimental/Souvenir value)

Care & preservation

Store in a cool, dry place inside a PVC-free coin holder or envelope. Avoid cleaning with abrasive chemicals or scrubbing, as this can damage the surface finish and reduce its numismatic (collectible) interest.
