New Release: Dune 2026 1g Gold Minted Bar
The Perth Mint has released a new collectible gold bar inspired by the cinematic world of Arrakis. The Dune 2026 1g Gold Minted Bar is an officially licensed product that combines the appeal of high-purity precious metal with the imagery of Frank Herbert’s science fiction epic. This release follows the global success of the recent film adaptations and offers a compact way to own a piece of the saga's history.

Design and Symbolism
The design focuses on the most formidable creature of the desert planet: the sandworm. The front of the bar features a detailed engraving of a sandworm emerging from the desert. The artwork, created by designer Sean Rogers, captures the iconic spiked ridges and coiled power of the beast. The official 'DUNE' logo and The Perth Mint’s 'P' mintmark are also integrated into the design.
On the reverse, the bar displays The Perth Mint’s London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) registered mark. This stylised swan symbol represents over 120 years of minting excellence and ensures the bar's international tradability. The back also carries the weight and 99.99% purity of the gold, set against a patterned background.
Technical Specifications
Struck from 1g of 99.99% pure gold, this minted bar is designed for both collectors and those looking for an accessible entry point into gold bullion. It measures 15.60mm in length and 9.10mm in width, with a maximum thickness of 1.30mm. Despite its small size, the level of detail in the strike remains sharp and clear.
