Queensland Mint is proud to present the 2014 1kg Australian Bullion Series Kookaburra Silver Brilliant Uncirculated Coin from The Perth Mint.
The Kookaburra is Australia's most famous bird. A member of the kingfisher family, it generally doesn’t like to fish! Instead, it preys on invertebrates and some small vertebrates.
The word Kookaburra comes from the Wiradjuri word “guuguubarra”. The word resembles the famous laughing call of the Kookaburra.
Kookaburras laughter is iconic as an Australian morning wake up call. The joyous laughter alerts to a majestic sunrise and beautiful day ahead.
Beginning in 1990, and now the longest running bullion program by the Perth Mint, the Kookaburra coin program sees a new artistic design every year. The Kookaburra is Australia's most well-known native bird species, so its no surprise this coin is a top-seller every year.
Coin Highlights:
- Contains 1kg 999 Fine Silver
- Australian Legal Tender with government backed purity guarantee and face value of $30
- Protective acrylic capsule
Reverse: Each coin’s reverse depicts a kookaburra perched on a branch of a tree. The weight, year-made and purity also appear in the design.
Obverse: Each coin’s obverse depicts the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The monetary denomination is also shown on the obverse of each coin.
