History
The Perth Mint opened on 20 June 1899 as a branch of Britain's Royal Mint. Western Australia's first Premier, Sir John Forrest, lobbied for it so the colony's gold would no longer be sent to Sydney or Melbourne for processing. Between 1899 and 1931 it struck more than 106 million gold sovereigns.
Ownership passed to the Government of Western Australia on 1 July 1970. Gold Corporation, created by the Gold Corporation Act 1987, took over the Mint's operations to launch Australia's official bullion coin program, beginning with the Australian Nugget gold coin in 1987, which evolved into the Australian Kangaroo series. The Australian Kookaburra silver bullion coin was first issued in 1990.
