The Silver Kookaburra from the Perth Mint is one of the world’s best-selling silver coins and one of Australia’s most popular. Introduced in 1990, the series was the first wildlife-themed annual silver release from Perth Mint and the first to establish a pattern of using new reverse designs with each issue. Today, 2005 1 oz Australian Silver Kookaburra Coins are available at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
The kookaburra is often regarded as a symbol of the Australian bush or outback. Its distinctive call is synonymous with the sounds of the Australian wilderness and is often featured in movies, advertisements, and other media depicting the country’s landscapes. These beloved creatures have been the face of Perth Mint bullion for more than three decades.
All 2005 1 oz Australian Silver Kookaburra Coins come with an individual capsule. In the early 2000s, Perth Mint saw a spike in demand for Silver Kookaburras to start the 21st century, but demand softened as the decade progressed. Though the 2005 had a low final mintage of 95,145 coins, it was an improvement over the 2004 mintage of just 84,455 coins.
On the obverse of 2005 Australian Silver Kookaburras is a bust of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. England’s longest-reigning monarch is shown here in right-profile relief and wears the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara on her head. This effigy was created in 1998 by Ian Rank-Broadley as the fourth-generation bust of the Queen during her reign.
The reverse side of 2005 1 oz Silver Kookaburra Coins features a unique depiction of a solitary kookaburra on a small perch. In Aboriginal Dreamtime stories, the kookaburra is sometimes depicted as a creator or trickster figure. These stories often highlight the bird’s intelligence and cunning, attributing it with supernatural powers.
