| Reverse description | The reverse presents a highly detailed aerial panoramic view of the Super Pit open-cut gold mine located near Kalgoorlie, Western Australia, one of the largest open-pit gold mines in the world. The terraced walls of the vast excavation descend dramatically into the pit, rendered with fine engraved linework conveying the immense scale of the mining operation. A large circular sun or moon rises above the horizon line in the upper field, set against a darkened sky rendered in frosted relief. The legend 'SUPER PIT AUSTRALIA' arcs boldly along the upper rim in incuse lettering against a blackened background, with the Perth Mint's 'P' mintmark visible to the right. The lower exergue carries the inscriptions '2019 1oz 9999 GOLD', confirming the year of issue, weight, and gold fineness. |

| Additional information |
The Super Pit — formally the Fimiston Open Cut — is located on the edge of Kalgoorlie, Western Australia, and has been one of the largest open-cut gold mines in the world since consolidated operations began in the 1980s after Homestake Mining and others merged competing leases. The mine sits atop the Golden Mile, a geological formation so dense with gold-bearing ore that it arguably drove more settlement into the Western Australian interior than any government scheme ever managed.
Perth Mint sources its gold directly from Australian operations, and coins in this series are struck from metal refined on-site at the East Perth refinery — one of the few sovereign mints that controls the full chain from raw ore to finished bullion.
