BULLION BARS AND COINS
Sales of Perth Mint gold bullion products climbed for the third month in a row in January, backed by the launch of our 2014 Australian Kangaroo 1oz Gold Bullion Tribute Coin.
In less than six weeks, almost 30,000 of these special coins have been sold from a maximum mintage of 65,000.
The Tribute Coin replicates the classic Stuart Devlin âRed Kangarooâ design first seen 25 years ago in 1989 on Australiaâs inaugural gold bullion coin program.
Many will also recognise it as the reverse of our massive 1 Tonne Gold Coin, which recently returned to Perth from a hugely successful tour of Europe where it caused a sensation at the World Money Fair in Berlin.
I can report that in many years of attending WMF, never have I witnessed so many visitors on The Perth Mint stand during the event!
Overall, sales of Australian gold bullion coins and minted bars rose 10 percent to 64,818oz in January 2014 from 58,943.61oz sold in December 2013. Sales were down slightly on the 65,683.71oz achieved one year ago.
Registered buyers in Australia and Asia can acquire the Australian Kangaroo 1oz Gold Bullion Tribute Coin, as well as other Australian gold bullion coins starting as small as 1/20oz at www.perthmintbullion.com.
The Perth Mint has a worldwide network of authorised bullion
distributors for buyers in most other regions.
