About Bradford Coins: A Family Business Since 1980
Bradford Coins is a proudly Australian-owned, family-run business established in 1980. Based in Cairns, Queensland, we have spent decades serving local customers across Far North Queensland, while also supporting collectors and investors Australia-wide through our comprehensive online store.
Whether you want to buy bullion, sell precious metals, find collectable coins, or build a world-class collection, our experienced team aims to provide clear information and friendly service to new and experienced collectors alike.
Our History & Environmental Commitment
We began as a small family business in Cairns and have grown alongside our community. In 1982, we proudly designed the original Cairns Tourist Dollar, a unique piece of local numismatic history. Today, as part of our ongoing efforts to reduce our environmental impact, our retail store operates on solar power.
