Evolution of the Kookaburra Coin Series
Considered the flagship coin series of the Perth Mint, silver kookaburras were first introduced to the market in 1990 and are the longest-running bullion program from the mint.
The kookaburra, with its raucous laughter echoing through the bushlands, embodies the untamed spirit of Australia’s wilderness. A member of the Kingfisher family, this charismatic bird captures the imagination of nature lovers worldwide with its distinctive call and striking plumage.
Native to Australia, the kookaburra symbolizes resilience and adaptability in the face of rugged landscapes. As a predator, it reigns supreme, preying on insects, small reptiles, and even venomous snakes—a testament to its prowess as a hunter and guardian of its territory.
For numismatists, the Silver Australian Kookaburra Coin series is more than just a collection—it’s a journey through Australia’s natural splendour and artistic expression. With each annual release, collectors eagerly anticipate the unveiling of a new design, each capturing the essence of the kookaburra’s existence in the wild.
