Australian Kookaburra Coin
The Australian Kookaburra coin, issued by the
Perth Mint of Australia, is one of the most popularly traded modern coins.
It is produced annually of 99.9% pure silver in four weights: 1 oz., 2 oz., 10 oz.,
and 1 kg. Each year, the design on the reverse of the coin - the native Australian
bird after which the coin is named - changes, but the obverse, and effigy of Queen
Elizabeth II remains the same.
- The Australian Kookaburra Coin was first officially released in 1990, although the
Perth Mint issued two coins, 1 oz. and 2 oz., featuring a kookaburra on the reverse
as part of the “Australian Bird Series” in 1989. Australian Kookaburra coins issued
in 2009 are minted with a “P20” scripted below the bird to recognize this.
- In 1990, the Australian Kookaburra was traded over 1.5 million times – that is,
over 5-times its original mintage of 300,000.
- While the coin was originally (and continues to be) officially minted in silver,
a gold “proof” version of the coin has been minted since 2004.
