Perth Mint gold bar world record

Overview

The Perth Mint in Western Australia has produced a 521.2 kg gold bar, named the ‘People’s Bar’, which has set a Guinness World Record for the largest gold bar ever made. This achievement surpasses the previous 300 kg record held by a mint in Dubai.

The bar was forged from Australian-origin gold and achieved a purity level of 99.999%, referred to as the ‘five-nines’ standard. The project required the expertise of more than 35 specialists across the Mint’s refinery and assay laboratory.

With a metal value exceeding 100 million Australian dollars, the initiative is intended to showcase Australia’s gold refining technology and promote the national gold industry.
