The Perth Mint has over a hundred years of minting experience, opening in 1899 in response to the discovery of gold in Western Australia. In 1957, the mint achieved what was in all likelihood an industry first by producing a proof plate of almost six nines - 999.999 parts of gold per thousand - as measured by the Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths in London, arguably "the purest of all gold." Originally a part of the British Royal Mint, The Perth Mint transferred to the Government of Western Australia in 1970 and from 1987 they were able to mint and market gold, silver, and platinum Australian legal tender coinage to investors and collectors worldwide, following a State Act of Parliament. In 2003, the Perth Mint opened a new state-of-the-art facility next door to their original Hay Street building.

The Perth holds endorsements from four of the world's leading commodity exchanges, including the London Bullion Market Association, the New York Commodity Exchange, the Dubai Multi Commodities Centre and the Tokyo Commodity Exchange. The Perth Mint is committed to an ethical approach to their business and strictly adheres to the guidelines and standards set by the London Bullion Market Association and the World Gold Council.
