Earlier issues display Queen Elizabeth II in one of several portrait generations, while future issues will feature King Charles III. The inscriptions include the monarch’s name, the nation of issue, and the coin’s denomination.
On the reverse, collectors will find the star attraction of this series—the kookaburra. Known for its distinctive call that resembles human laughter, the kookaburra is a beloved bird native to Australia. Each year, the Perth Mint introduces a new artistic interpretation of this bird, ranging from perched depictions to mid-flight imagery. The ever-changing designs have made the Kookaburra Series one of the most sought-after annual bullion collections worldwide.
Weighing a full kilogram, this coin stands out as one of the largest bullion issues regularly available to investors and collectors. Its substantial weight makes it ideal for those looking to acquire large amounts of silver in a single coin, while its changing designs add a layer of numismatic appeal that other large-format bullion coins often lack.
Each 1 Kilo Australian Silver Kookaburra offered in this listing comes in varied condition, with random year selection. Some specimens may show signs of handling or toning, while others may preserve more of their original mint luster. Regardless of condition, all coins contain the same guaranteed weight and purity of silver, backed by the Perth Mint and the Australian government.
For investors, the 1 Kilo Silver Kookaburra provides an efficient way to accumulate silver, while collectors enjoy the artistry and limited mintage of each annual release. With its mix of size, beauty, and legacy, the Silver Kookaburra remains one of the most respected series in global bullion.
