2021 1oz Super Pit Australia Silver Round

Product Overview

The 2021 1oz Super Pit Australia Silver Round is a distinctive bullion-style release from The Perth Mint, struck from 1 troy ounce (31.1 grams) of 99.99% pure silver. This issue pays tribute to one of Australia’s most iconic mining landmarks, the Kalgoorlie Super Pit, one of the largest open-cut gold mines in the world.

Located in Western Australia, the Super Pit has played a significant role in the country’s gold mining history, dating back to the 1890s gold rush era that helped establish The Perth Mint itself.

Combining historical significance with investment-grade silver purity, this coin/round is highly appealing to both bullion investors and collectors interested in Australian mining heritage. With a limited mintage of 100,000, it offers additional collectible appeal alongside its intrinsic silver value.
