The Perth Mint unveils 2021 Australian Bullion Coin Program

The 2021 Australian Bullion Coin Program is ready to deliver for investors at time of heightened interest in gold, silver and platinum.

As a world leader in precious metals for investors, we have an unparalleled reputation for the purity, quality and tradability of our physical bullion products, which are backed by an exclusive government guarantee.

Upholding the very highest standards of minting, these new coins are crafted with meticulous attention to detail from 99.99% pure gold, 99.99% pure silver and 99.95% pure platinum in the trusted form of government-authorised Australian legal tender.

Australian Lunar Gold, Silver and Platinum Bullion Coin Series III

As the first major mint in the world to celebrate the 12 animals of the ancient Chinese lunar calendar, we are pleased to continue Series III of the world-renowned Australian Lunar coin program in gold, silver and platinum.

This year welcomes the Ox, believed to inspire honesty, reliability and leadership qualities in all those born under its legendary influence.

Two designs celebrate the Year of the Ox. Gold and platinum coins portray a strapping ox amid bamboo, a symbol of virtue. Silver coins portray an ox and its calf with a cherry blossom tree, a symbol of love and beauty.

Australian Kookaburra Silver Bullion Coin Series

Established for more than three decades, the Australian Kookaburra silver coin series features annual portrayals of the beady-eyed kookaburra, a raucous bird immortalised in Australian folklore for its distinctive laughing call.

The 2021 design portrays a kookaburra with leaves and seed pods synonymous with native eucalyptus trees.

Australian Kangaroo Gold, Silver and Platinum Bullion Coin Series

No wildlife symbol more powerfully equates with Australia than the kangaroo. In 2021 we are proud to present our most emblematic animal for the 33rd time on Australia’s signature gold bullion coin series. The program also includes sought-after silver and platinum versions featuring our classic ‘red’ kangaroo artistry.

The new gold coin design portrays a crouching kangaroo against a backdrop of Waratah and Kangaroo Paw native Australian plants.

For the convenience of volume buyers, Silver Kangaroo coins can be purchased in protective acrylic tubes of 25 coins and monster boxes each containing 10 tubes.

Australian Koala Silver Bullion Coin Series

Spending much of their time aloft among the fragrant foliage of the eucalyptus forest, koalas are Australian native animals cherished the world over. Devouring their favourite gum leaves or dozing contentedly in the sunlight, these gentle marsupials have been charmingly represented on sought after Australian Koala silver coin since 2008.

In 2021, the coins show a sleepy koala nestled between the branches of a eucalyptus tree.
