The Australian Silver Kookaburra is one of the most visible silver bullion coins in the world. Introduced in 1990 by the Perth Mint, this classic collection offers a new depiction of the kookaburra species on the reverse each year. Today, 1996 1 oz Australian Silver Kookaburra Coins are available at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
The kookaburra holds profound significance in Australian Aboriginal culture as a messenger bird whose distinctive laughing call was believed to herald the dawn and ward off evil spirits. Many Aboriginal Dreamtime stories feature the kookaburra as a wise mediator who brought fire to humanity or settled disputes between other animals.
All 1996 1 oz Australian Silver Kookaburra Coins are available here in protective acrylic capsules. Perth Mint set a maximum mintage of 300,000 coins for the 1996 issue of the Silver Kookaburra, with final sales seeing a volume of 170,105 coins. This release is notable as one of the final to feature Raphael Maklouf’s portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse.
On the obverse of 1996 Australian Silver Kookaburras, you’ll find a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Her Majesty is shown here in right-profile relief with the George IV State Diadem on her head. This effigy is widely regarded as a timeless depiction of Her Majesty that transcends her many decades on the throne.
The reverse of 1996 1 oz Silver Kookaburra Coins comes with an image of a kookaburra in flight. The bird is shown here in right-profile relief with its wings spread wide as it glides through the air. In modern Australian culture, the kookaburra has become an iconic symbol of the bush, immortalized in the beloved children’s song “Kookaburra Sits in the Old Gum Tree,” and serves as a reminder of Australia’s unique wildlife heritage.
