The Australian Kookaburra is one of the most recognizable silver bullion coins in the world and the longest-running silver bullion series at the Perth Mint. Introduced in 1990, the Silver Kookaburra has been struck each year by Perth with a new design of the namesake bird on the reverse side each time. Right now, 1992 10 oz Proof Australian Silver Kookaburra Coins are available from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Each 1992 10 oz Proof Australian Silver Kookaburra Coin offered here comes in a protective plastic capsule. The 10 oz proof coin issued in 1992 had a limited mintage of only 2,500 coins. Each one has frosted design elements overlaying mirrored background fields for a clean visual contrast.
The kookaburra is a bird species native to Australia and New Guinea, best known for its distinctive laughing call that sounds remarkably like human laughter. These large members of the kingfisher family are territorial birds that typically live in family groups, with young birds often staying to help their parents raise subsequent broods.
The obverse of the 1992 Proof Australian Silver Kookaburra comes with an effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. In 1992, mints across the Commonwealth were commonly using Raphael Maklouf’s right-profile effigy of Elizabeth II. Designed in 1985, this effigy is considered a timeless portrait of the Queen that captures Elizabeth II wearing the George IV State Diadem.
On the reverse of 1992 10 oz Proof Silver Kookaburra Coins is a depiction of a small kookaburra perched on a short branch. Despite being kingfishers, kookaburras rarely eat fish. Instead, they are carnivorous birds that primarily feed on snakes, lizards, small rodents, and large insects. They have a unique hunting technique where they perch on branches and wait patiently for prey before swooping down to catch it with their powerful beaks.
