The disclosed permanent magnet consists of an iron-palladium alloy consisting of 25 to 40 atomic % of palladium, and the remainder of iron with less than 0.5 atomic % of impurities or an iron-palladium-silver alloy consisting of 19.5 atomic % of palladium, 0.1 to 27.5 atomic % of silver and the remainder of iron with less than 0.5 atomic % of impurities and having a crystalline structure with fine dispersion of alpha + gamma 1 phase in a matrix, so that the permanent magnet has a coercive force of higher than 500 Oe, a residual magnetic flux density of larger than 6 kG, and a maximum energy product of larger than 2 MG.Oe. The disclosed method of producing the aforementioned permanent magnet comprises steps of homogenizing solid solution treatment at a temperature depending on the specific alloy composition, cooling, and tempering at a suitable temperature so as to generate the aforementioned crystalline structure.
