Description
2024 Perth Mint Silver Kookaburra Coin 1oz
A common guest of residential Australian gardens, the kookaburra is the largest member of the kingfisher
species. The Perth Mint is pleased to present three bullion coins featuring the kookaburra, meticulously struck
from 99.99% pure silver in 1 kilo, 10oz and 1oz sizes.
Kookaburras gather at dusk and dawn to declare territorial boundaries with shrill, cackling laughs. Having first
heard the call of the Australian Kookaburra in 1990, investors have been faithful to the iconic silver series for
more than three decades.
Only 500,000 1oz coins will be released. No mintage limit applies to the 1 kilo and 10oz coins, however production
will close at the end of 2024 and The Perth Mint will declare each coin’s official mintage.
Each coin in this program is issued as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965.
DESIGN
Each coin’s reverse portrays a kookaburra in flight over a gorge with a snake in its talons. All coin designs
incorporate the inscription ‘KOOKABURRA’, a ‘P125’ mintmark signifying The Perth mint’s 125th anniversary, the
2024 year-date, the weight and purity.
The obverse of each coin bears the Dan Thorne effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, and the monetary
denomination.
AUTHENTICATION FEATURE
Each coin’s reverse includes a security feature in the form of a micro-laser engraved letter within the coin’s
design. It is only detectable under a magnifying glass.
PRESENTATON
Each bullion coin is presented in a protective acrylic capsule.
