🤔 What does ‘maximum mintage’, ‘declared mintage’ and ‘issue limit’ mean? Mintage figures are valuable to collectors because they provide guidance about 'rarity'.

If you've ever pondered over terms like ‘maximum mintage’, ‘declared mintage’ and ‘issue limit’, we’ve got the answers! Read all about the different terminology and why they are important to collectors | https://ow.ly/PZlP50Uo1tU #ThePerthMint #CoinCollecting #Mintage

😱 You wouldn’t believe what we found hiding underneath our coining press room! During some recent engineering work in the coining division, workers cut through a concrete floor and revealed a brick-lined pit containing two large gears that were fabricated in 1896! They were soon identified as the main driving gears for the original rolling mills, as seen in this 1919 image from the State Library of Western Australia archives.
