Australia has two mints, the Royal Australian Mint (which also makes the country's circulating coinage) and the Perth Mint, which are both very active in the bullion coinage space; coins issued by them are legal tender.
Additionally, there are private issuers of bullion which is not legal tender and is targeted at investors and not at coin collectors - such as this one.
This 500 g (five hundred grams, or half kilogram) platinum bar is part of the ABC Bullion platinum minted tablet range. Each tablet showcases the signature ABC Bullion square ingot logo repeated diagonally across the obverse side. Security sealed in a blister packed together with a serial numbered certificate, this packaging system has been devised to provide superior protection against tampering and guaranteeing origin, assayed fine precious metals content, weight and quality. |
