Perth Mint Prime Distributor

Chards is a prime distributor of bullion for the Perth Mint. Our 2024 Year of the Dragon coin range, as well as other Perth Mint products, is sourced directly from their mint headquarters in Western Australia.

Security Authentication Feature

The reverse of all coins except the largest coin in the silver range, the 10 kilo, includes a micro-engraved letter (P) that is only detectable with visual aids such as a magnifying glass. 

The letter 'P' is engraved just above, within a wave, located above the dragon's top-left hand. This measure is taken to prevent counterfeit coins from being passed off as genuine coins.
