Watch a gold pour 
Witness the amazing spectacle of a traditional gold pour in our original 1899 melting house, during which pure gold is heated to molten temperatures and, as it cools, transforms into a gleaming solid gold bar.
The one tonne gold coin 
The centrepiece of our remarkable Gold Exhibition is the Australian Kangaroo One Tonne Gold Coin, the largest and most valuable coin in the world. Tipping the scales at a massive one tonne of 99.99% pure gold, this colossal coin measures nearly 80cm wide and 13cm deep.
Awarded a prestigious Guinness World Record in 2012, this monumental masterpiece is valued at more than $60million and is showcased in all its golden glory on a revolving platform.
