Ronald "Bon" Scott, born on 9 July 1946 in Forfar, Scotland, became a legend of rock as the voice of AC/DC. To mark the 80th anniversary of his birth, the Perth Mint issued this minted gold bar in 2026 – and this is exactly where the heart of the product lies: you are acquiring full-value investment gold, whose value is based on the gold price. The Bon Scott anniversary design is the personal touch, while the pure fine gold is the actual substance and the real reason to buy.

The bar measures approximately 15.60 × 9.10 mm, making it pleasantly easy to handle. One side shows the rearing lion with microphone, the inscription "BON SCOTT 80 YEARS" and the mint's well-known "P" mint mark. The other side bears the Perth Mint's swan logo, registered with the London Bullion Market Association, along with the weight and fineness. The piece was designed by Perth Mint designer Lucas Bowers. The Brilliant Uncirculated bar is delivered in a coin pouch – a themed blister card featuring the distinctive tartan pattern and the anniversary logo, protected within a paper sleeve.

Why investment gold in small denominations is convincing

Gold is the oldest currency in the world and a proven store of value for over 6,000 years. It has never had a value of zero, because it possesses an inherent, intrinsic value, and reliably protects against loss of purchasing power. Small units in particular, such as this 1-gram bar, allow you to build wealth in manageable steps – small amounts of gold add up over the years to form considerable wealth. Pure fine gold retains its physical properties over millennia and never loses its shine.

• Physical gold offers inflation hedge and protection against currency risks.
• High liquidity: recognized worldwide, tradable and resalable at any time.
• Limited, scarce supply ensures long-term value stability.
• Suitable for retirement provision and passing on wealth across generations.

The world's largest gold holders are the central banks – a clear signal that they trust their own fiat currency only to a limited extent. While paper money can be printed at will and is susceptible to inflation, the supply of gold remains limited. Physical gold is also attractive from a tax perspective: this bar is delivered VAT-free, and profits from a later sale are generally tax-free after a minimum holding period of one year.

Despite the personal occasion, what you are acquiring here is full-value investment gold – minted fine gold whose value is based on the gold price.

The strictly limited mintage of 5,000 pieces and the renowned origin from Australia make this Brilliant Uncirculated bar an attractive building block for your gold investment. Whether as an entry into physical gold investment or as a gift of genuine investment gold for the 80th anniversary – the enduring substance of pure fine gold from the Perth Mint always retains its value.
