The Perth Mint began issuing the one-ounce Silver Kookaburra in 1990. This good-natured little bird with the funny name became the namesake of the coin series that garnered instant adoration with collectors around the world. Its distinctive name—an adaptation by early British settlers of an Aboriginal word—contributed to the fascinating appeal of this coin. While difficult to pronounce for some perhaps, it is equally unforgettable for the way it rolls off the Australian tongue.
Kookaburras are best known for their unmistakable call, which is uncannily similar to loud, echoing, human laughter. Struck annually by Australia’s world-famous Perth Mint—best known for their superior craftsmanship and high-quality coins—the design of the Kookaburra changes ever year. And the brand-new 2009 is sure to please! Featuring our favorite bird, perched atop a eucalyptus tree with the rays of the Sun rising above the Australian horizon in the background, you’ll want to get in on this fantastic offer. This .999 pure silver, official legal-tender, crown-size coin comes in immaculate Brilliant Uncirculated condition and measures 40mm in diameter.
Now you can be the first to own the one-ounce 2009 silver Kookaburra—with its one-year-only design! Order yours today.
