| Additional information |
The Kingston ingot bar coin series from Perth Mint takes its name from the barque Kingston, which carried one of the earliest commercial gold shipments out of the Victorian goldfields following the rushes of the early 1850s. Perth's decision to brand this annual bullion issue around Australian gold shipwreck and transport history places it in a distinct commercial niche against the standard Kangaroo and Lunar bullion programs.
One troy ounce of four-nines gold in 2024 means this piece was struck under the reign of Charles III, whose effigy replaced Elizabeth II's across all Commonwealth mint issues following her death in September 2022 — the first Australian bullion coinage to carry a new monarch in seventy years.
