The Perth Mint unveiled this week its bullion suite of gold, silver and platinum coins for 2019.
Intended for investors and historically popular with collectors, coins include the signature Australian Kangaroo, Kookaburra and Koala series themes. Then there are Australian Lunar Series II coins celebrating the Year of the Pig.
"Our bullion coin program has evolved over the last 30 years, allowing investors access to gold, silver and platinum coins in weights ranging from 1/20 ounce to 10 kilograms," said Perth Mint Chief Executive Officer Richard Hayes. "Annual design changes and select mintages on certain offerings ensure the range remains fresh and highly desirable."
As has become traditional, The Perth Mint is staggering their release of the 2019-dated bullion coins.
