At the time, it was Australia’s third branch of the British Royal Mint. The other Australian Mints were located in Sydney and Melbourne which have since been closed.

One of the biggest producing products of the Perth Mint was the English Gold Sovereign. Between 1899 and 1931 more than 106 million Gold Sovereigns and almost 735,000 half Sovereigns were produced by the Perth Mint for use as currency throughout Australia and the British empire.
