Description

The Australian Silver Kookaburra series of coins is an ongoing issue of beautiful .999 fine silver bullion coins from Australia’s famous Perth Mint that celebrates one of the country’s great national symbols: the Kookaburra. Native to Eastern and Southern Australia, these iconic birds are the largest members of the Kingfisher family and are known across Australia for their distinctive song and for the tenacity with which they defend their nests. Since their introduction in 1990, Silver Kookaburras have been prized by collectors who eagerly await the unveiling of a new design each year.

Original 2017 Kookaburra Design

The reverse of each 2017 1oz Silver Australian Kookaburra coin features two Kookaburras perched on a wooden fence. Exquisite quality is shown in this design, as the individual detail in the feathers, as well as the old wooden fence, bring this image to life.

The coin’s obverse bears the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the year-date.
