Buy 2011 Australian 10 oz Silver Kookaburra

Own one of Australia's most cherished silver coins with the 2011 1 oz Silver Kookaburra. A native of Australia, the kookaburra is a tree kingfisher and one of the country's most beloved birds. These beautiful birds are known for their loud calls that can resound like human laughter. They may be petite looking, but they love to eat meat and are known to devour the young of other birds, including mice, snakes, and small reptiles.

The Kookaburra series features an annually changing design. Designed by Elise Martinson, the 2011 Kookaburra's reverse appears striking with its depiction of a kookaburra spreading its wings for flight or sunbathing. Its name is featured across the top rim. The bottom rim features the date, weight and purity with “2011,” “10 oz.,” “.999 Silver.”

Displayed on the obverse is the likeness of Ian Rank-Broadley's famous right-sided profile of Queen Elizabeth II, first designed in 1998. The face value of 10 dollars is marked along the bottom with her name and issuing country of Australia on the upper half.
