The Australian Kookaburra holds the distinction of being the longest-running silver bullion coin series from the Perth Mint. Launched in 1990, it was the Mint’s initial bullion coin series, alongside the Gold Kangaroo, to debut new reverse designs annually featuring native Australian wildlife. Now, 2000 1 oz Australian Silver Kookaburra Coins are available online from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
The obverse of the 2000 1 oz Silver Kookaburra Coin presents a right-profile image of Queen Elizabeth II. This portrait marks the fifth official depiction of Her Majesty on Australian currency and shows her wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara.
On the reverse of 2000 Australian Silver Kookaburras, a kookaburra is perched along the branch of a tree. Australia is home to two main kookaburra species: the laughing kookaburra and the blue-winged kookaburra, which differ notably in their appearance and vocalizations. The laughing kookaburra is larger with a distinctive white head, brown eye-stripe, and its famous cackling call that resembles human laughter. The blue-winged kookaburra, while slightly smaller, displays more vibrant coloration with electric blue on its wings and rump, a cream-colored head, and a call that is shorter and more abrupt than its cousin’s.
Beyond these two main species, a lesser-known member of the kookaburra family found in Australia is the rufous-bellied kookaburra, which inhabits the northern tip of Cape York Peninsula, representing the southern edge of its primarily New Guinean range. This species diversity, though limited compared to some bird families, showcases evolutionary adaptations to different ecological niches within Australia’s varied landscapes.
These 2000 1 oz Australian Silver Kookaburra Coins are encapsulated in protective plastic. Although the maximum mintage was set at 300,000 coins, actual sales figures reached 104,169 pieces. This represents a gradual decline in mintage numbers for the 1 oz Kookaburra series entering the 21st century. Just three years earlier, in 1997, the Kookaburra had sales of over 150,000 coins.
