Cast Bar — 5 troy oz · 99.99% fine
5 Troy Oz Cast
Gold Bar
Five troy ounces (155.517g) of 99.99% pure gold from The Perth Mint — Australia's largest gold refinery and a fully LBMA Good Delivery accredited institution. The 5oz cast bar carries a premium of approximately 1.5% above spot — meaningfully lower than the 1oz Kangaroo bar — while remaining a practical single-purchase transaction for serious investors building a gold position.
The Perth Mint 5 Troy Oz Cast Gold Bar is a pour-moulded bar stamped with The Perth Mint's iconic swan hallmark, weight (5ozs), fineness (9999), and a unique serial number (0000001 shown). As a cast bar, the surface texture is organic — characteristic of the pour-and-cool process — and does not affect gold content or resale value.
The 5oz is an uncommon retail denomination at The Perth Mint, making it particularly well suited to investors who want to step up premium efficiency from the 1oz Kangaroo without committing to the full 10oz outlay. Each bar is produced under The Perth Mint's LBMA Good Delivery accreditation — the highest international gold bar standard.
As an authorised Perth Mint dealer, we supply every bar directly from the Mint with full chain of custody. We buy this bar back at 100% of the live spot price.
Both are cast bars containing 5 troy oz of 999.9/99.99% fine gold from LBMA-accredited Australian refineries. The key differences:
- Perth Mint 5oz (~1.5%): Government-owned refinery (Western Australian Government). LBMA Good Delivery accredited — the highest standard. Swan hallmark, 5ozs 9999. Slightly lower premium than ABC at this size due to the Perth Mint's higher global brand recognition commanding tighter dealer spreads.
- ABC Bullion 5oz (~1.8%): Australia's largest private refinery. CHI Essayeur Fondeur certified. ABC rounded square hallmark. Slightly higher premium than Perth Mint at 5oz. Excellent global liquidity.
Both are outstanding products. At 5oz, the Perth Mint's LBMA Good Delivery accreditation and global recognition give it a marginal premium efficiency advantage over ABC Bullion at this weight.
The Perth Mint's LBMA Good Delivery accreditation means this bar is accepted at face value by every major bullion bank, central bank, and dealer globally. At 5oz (155g), you are holding a bar that meets the same assay and quality standard as the bars traded on the London Bullion Market itself.
This matters particularly if you anticipate selling outside Australia — in Singapore, Hong Kong, London, or any major international market. The Perth Mint hallmark eliminates any verification process that might arise with lesser-known refineries, ensuring maximum liquidity wherever you are.
