The Perth Mint is one of the oldest and most respected sovereign minting facilities in the world, established in 1899 as part of the British Royal Mint network. Over more than a century of operation, it has evolved into a globally recognized producer of gold, silver, and platinum bullion coins, bars, and collector issues. Its products consistently meet or exceed the highest international minting standards, and its precious metals are distributed through dealers across dozens of countries.
Australia has maintained a strong tradition of wildlife-themed bullion coinage, producing series that feature the country's unique fauna across multiple metals and denominations. The Striped Marlin, a powerful deep-sea game fish found across the Indo-Pacific and beyond, was selected as the subject of this 2020 release. It fits within the broader Perth Mint tradition of pairing high-purity platinum with compelling natural imagery to produce coins that appeal across collector and bullion buyer audiences alike.
The reverse of this coin features a highly detailed engraving of a striped marlin in mid-motion, capturing the fish's distinctive elongated bill, streamlined profile, and signature lateral striping. The rendering reflects the Perth Mint's precision die-work, with fine line detail that conveys movement and naturalism within a compact circular field. The design is complemented by inscriptions noting the year of issue, platinum weight, purity, and face value.
The obverse carries the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, which was the standard portrait used on Australian legal tender coinage through this period. The portrait is paired with the legal tender denomination and identifying inscriptions consistent with Perth Mint sovereign issues. The coin's overall finish presents the polished detailing expected of a premium bullion release from this mint.
At one-third of a troy ounce, this coin sits between the smaller tenth-ounce format and the standard one-ounce piece, offering a practical middle ground for buyers who want meaningful platinum exposure without committing to the full per-ounce cost. Fractional platinum coins carry higher premiums per ounce compared to one-ounce formats, which is a normal function of minting costs spread across a smaller metal weight, but they allow buyers to acquire platinum at lower absolute price points per coin.
The fractional format also makes the Striped Marlin coin more practical for those who build positions incrementally or who prefer flexibility when considering future transactions. Each coin is a self-contained unit of recognized platinum content, which supports straightforward handling across purchase and resale scenarios.
Every coin in this series is produced directly by The Perth Mint to exacting specifications, including a platinum purity of .9995 and a weight of one-third troy ounce. The Perth Mint's quality controls are among the most rigorous of any sovereign minting facility, and the specifications are stamped directly onto each coin as part of the design. These inscribed details allow straightforward verification of metal content without requiring additional documentation.
We carry only products sourced from reputable mints, refineries, wholesalers, and authorized distributors. Our team verifies authenticity, weight, and purity on every product, and our authorized dealer relationships with both PCGS and NGC support the authentication infrastructure we maintain across our catalog. For platinum coins bearing clear Perth Mint specifications, the combination of issuing authority and observable specifications provides a strong foundation for buyer confidence.
This coin is offered in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, meaning it has not been placed into circulation and retains its original minted surface. BU coins may show minor handling marks or contact from the minting and packaging process, which is typical for this grade. The overall appearance remains sharp and detailed, consistent with what collectors and bullion buyers expect from a freshly issued Perth Mint product.
Individual coins ship secured in a protective plastic flip to prevent surface contact during transit. Tubes of coins, where applicable, ship in the standard Perth Mint packaging configuration for this series. When multiple units or full case quantities are ordered, packaging scales accordingly. If you have questions about packaging for a specific quantity, our team is available to clarify before purchase.
Pricing for the 2020 Striped Marlin platinum coin is calculated from the current spot price of platinum, with a premium added to reflect minting costs, Perth Mint production quality, and the coin's collectible character within the fractional platinum market. Platinum as a metal trades at lower volumes than gold or silver, which contributes to somewhat wider bid/ask spreads and more variable premiums across the category. The fractional weight of this coin adds a per-ounce premium increment that is typical for sub-one-ounce platinum issues.
Our pricing updates in real time as platinum spot prices move, and we display the full bid/ask spread on each product page so buyers have a transparent view of the complete transaction picture. Understanding both the purchase premium and the expected resale value provides a more accurate sense of total cost of ownership than focusing on spot price alone.
Platinum coins issued by The Perth Mint benefit from the mint's international reputation and the coin's clearly stamped weight and purity specifications, both of which support recognition in the resale market. That said, platinum as a category trades in a smaller and less liquid market than gold or silver, and fractional platinum coins in particular may carry wider spreads relative to standard one-ounce issues. Buyers should factor this characteristic into their expectations before purchasing.
We operate a two-way market that supports both buying and selling within the same platform. Customers can obtain competitive buyback pricing directly through us, and we encourage buyers to evaluate liquidity before completing a purchase rather than treating resale as an afterthought. Our platform is designed to make the sell-side of the transaction as transparent as the buy-side.
This coin offers a combination of attributes that distinguish it from generic platinum bullion. It is produced by one of the world's premier sovereign mints, carries legal tender status under Australian law, and features a visually compelling design that sets it apart from standard bar or round formats. For buyers who want platinum content alongside genuine numismatic character, the Striped Marlin provides that in a fractional size that is more accessible by price point than a full ounce.
The .9995 purity designation places it among the finest platinum coins available in the market. Its fractional weight and the Perth Mint's global distribution infrastructure mean the coin is recognized across major dealer and collector networks, which supports its practical usability over time. It is a well-defined product with clearly stated specifications, an identifiable issuing authority, and a distinct design that holds appeal beyond the metal content alone.
We have been operating in the physical precious metals market since 2010, and every part of our platform reflects a commitment to transparency and informed buying. Our pricing is tied to real-time market conditions, and we display the full bid/ask spread on each product page so there are no hidden costs. We source products from reputable mints and distributors, and we verify authenticity, weight, and purity across our inventory before fulfillment.
Our credentials reinforce the standards we hold ourselves to. We maintain an A rating with the Better Business Bureau, hold memberships in the American Numismatic Association and the National Coin and Bullion Association, and are authorized dealers for both PCGS and NGC. We also operate a two-way market, meaning customers can sell back to us at competitive pricing without needing to look elsewhere for liquidity. Our goal is a buying experience that is straightforward, data-supported, and built for long-term trust.
