Description
ONLY 500 MINTED! (DELIVERY BY END OF AUGUST)
Bullion Now in conjunction with the Perth Mint is pleased to release exclusively throughout Australia this outstanding 5oz gold bullion coin celebrates the iconic Super Pit mine. Gold discoveries across the outback sent the world rushing to Western Australia in the early 1890s. The abundant finds included the celebrated Golden Mile at the mining town of Kalgoorlie, which is now home to the Super Pit. At almost 3.5km long, 1.5km wide and more than 600m deep, the Super Pit produces approximately 700,000 ounces of gold each year.
Struck by The Perth Mint from 5oz of 99.99% pure gold sourced from the Super Pit itself, the coin is issued as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965.
No more than 500 of the Super Pit 2022 5oz Gold Bullion Coin will be released.
DESIGN
The coin’s artistic representation portrays a Komatsu excavator in the Super Pit open cast mine, and a headframe, or winding tower, such as the one used at the nearby Mt Charlotte Underground Mine. As well as the inscription ‘SUPER PIT AUSTRALIA 2022 5oz 9999 GOLD’, the reverse also incorporates The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark. The Jody Clark effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the monetary denomination are depicted on each coin’s obverse.
AUTHENTICATION FEATURE
