Cast gold bars are characterized by having a more natural raw metal appearance and distinct details unique to each bar. Despite the rustic appearance, the metal content and purity of the bar remain the same and do not impact the metal value in any way. The process behind manufacturing cast gold bars involves pouring molten gold into a pre-made mould, and they are typically stamped with inscriptions or designs on at least one of the faces after it has cooled down.

ABOUT PERTH MINT

The Perth Mint opened in 1899 as the British Royal Mint's 3rd branch in Australia. The historical Hay Street location handled gold refining until moving to a modern facility in April 1990. Ownership of the mint was transferred to the Government of Western Australia in July of 1970. Under an agreement with the Commonwealth Treasury, they were empowered to mint and market gold, silver, and platinum as Australian legal tender to investors and collectors worldwide. Today, they are amongst the elite world mints whose pure gold, silver, and platinum items are trusted without question. Items such as the Australian Nugget, Silver Coin Series (Kangaroo, Kookaburra, Koala, and Platypus to name a few), as well as the Australian Lunar Gold and Silver Coin Series are extensively sought after by bullion investors worldwide.
