Kookaburras, particularly the laughing kookaburra (Dacelo novaeguineae), are monogamous birds that typically mate for life, forming strong pair bonds that can last for many years. Since 1990, the kookaburra has been the focus of Perth Mint bullion coinage with the Australian Silver Kookaburra. This collection set the stage for those series that would follow, using new depictions of the kookaburra on the reverse side each year. Now, 1994 1 oz Australian Silver Kookaburra Coins are available online from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
The obverse of 1994 1 oz Silver Kookaburra Coins comes with the third-generation bust of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Designed in 1985 by Raphael Maklouf, this portrait of Elizabeth II is widely regarded as a timeless look at the long-reigning monarch. This right-profiile relief depicts Her Majesty wearing the George IV State Diadem.
On the reverse side of 1994 Australian Silver Kookaburras is a depiction of a pair of the birds perched next to one another on a tree branch. During courtship, males perform distinctive displays that include offering food gifts to potential mates, engaging in synchronized calling with their trademark “laugh,” and performing wing-spreading displays to show off their plumage. These rituals help cement the pair bond before they begin the collaborative process of nest-building.
Once mated, kookaburras engage in cooperative breeding, where the breeding pair receives assistance from helpers, typically their offspring from previous seasons, who aid in nest defense, incubation, and feeding the new chicks. This family structure creates a social hierarchy within kookaburra territories, with the dominant breeding pair defending an area of about 2-4 hectares where they hunt, nest, and raise their young.
These 1994 1 oz Australian Silver Kookaburra Coins are available with protective plastic capsules. Perth Mint had a maximum mintage of 300,000 coins for the 1994 Silver Kookaburra, achieving over half that maximum in sales with a final figure of 174,561 coins sold.
