100oz Perth Mint Vintage Extruded Silver Bar – Serial Numbered

Product Overview

The 100oz Perth Mint Vintage Extruded Silver Bar is a highly sought-after piece of Australian bullion history. Produced using the now-retired extrusion method, this bar features rugged industrial styling, a full 100 troy ounces of 99.9% pure silver, and the trusted quality of The Perth Mint. Each bar is individually serialised, adding authentication and traceability. Lower serial numbers makes them desirable to both collectors and long-term investors.

As a vintage vault-release product, these bars show marks, scratches, and toning consistent with age and storage, adding to their unique character and historic appeal.

Design & Craftsmanship

Unlike modern cast bars, this extruded bar was manufactured using a process that involved forcing molten silver through a die, giving it a distinctive elongated form and clean edges. Each bar features:

Stamped weight and purity: “100oz 999 SILVER”

The Perth Mint swan logo

An individually stamped serial number

A flat, smooth-sided profile ideal for stacking in vaults or safes

Due to their age and handling, surface imperfections such as scratches, dings, or toning are to be expected. They are a hallmark of their authenticity and vintage origin.

Packaging & Availability

These vintage bars are released from long-term vault storage and are supplied loose. Due to their age and limited availability, these bars are increasingly hard to source, particularly in serialised condition. Each one carries visual signs of its storage history, making it both a reliable bulk silver investment and a collectible bullion artefact.
