Australian Silver Kookaburra coins were first introduced in 1990, and represented the start of a bullion coin design trend from the Perth Mint that focused on highlighting native species from the continent. The long-term popularity of these coins helped propel the latter releases of the Australian Silver Koala and the Australian Silver Kangaroo.

The kookaburra is a unique member of the kingfisher family. A carnivorous bird, it will eat almost anything include lizards, small insects, snakes, and even other smaller birds. The kookaburra is distinctive in the Outback for its call, which is eerily similar to human laughter.

Your coin and case ship inside a custom-designed shipper with a Kookaburra outline on it, the year of issue noted, and a numbered Certificate of Authenticity included.

On the reverse of the coin you’ll find the latest Kookaburra design from the Perth Mint, which depicts a solitary kookaburra on a fence post.
