1oz. Australian Kookaburra Silver Bullion Coin
1990 - Present
The Australian Kookaburra Silver bullion coin was introduced in 1990 by Australia's prestigious Perth Mint. It is the Perth Mint's longest-running and one of its most popular silver bullion coin series.
Native to Australia and New Guinea, Kookaburras belong to the family of birds called tree kingfishers, which grow from 11 inches to 17 inches in length.
The name "Kookaburra" originates from a group of Aboriginal Australian people known as the Wiradjuri people, they are from central New South Wales.
The Kookaburra has a loud, distinctive call known for sounding like laughter. Hear the Kookaburra's unique call in the video below.
Design of the
1oz. Australian Kookaburra
Silver Bullion Coin
Obverse
The direction of the monarch's face is a subtle difference between the 2023 and 2024 Australian Kookaburra silver bullion coin.
On the 2023 Australian Kookaburra, the late Queen Elizabeth II is facing the right, whereas the 2024 Australian Kookaburra portrays the new King of England, Charles III, facing the left.
Changing the direction a monarch faces on British Commonwealth coinage is a tradition that dates back to the 17th century for the British Royal Family.
The obverse side of the 1 oz. Australian Kookaburra Silver bullion coin portrays the profile of His Majesty, King Charles III, designed by David Thorne.
Inscriptions:
- CHARLES III
- AUSTRALIA
- • 1 DOLLAR •
- DT - designer's initials under the King's profile
Note: The first two years (1990 and 1991) of the 1 oz. Australian Kookaburra silver bullion coin had a face value of "5 DOLLARS." From 1992 to the present day, the face value of the coin has been "1 DOLLAR."
