All of the 2011 10 oz Australian Silver Kookaburra Coins in this listing comes with a protective plastic capsule. The coins were issued in 2011 with a “mint to order” approach. Referred to as unlimited mintages as well, the Perth Mint strikes coins under this order through the end of the calendar year marked on the coin’s face. As long as demand persists through that date, the Perth Mint strikes the coins.
The 2011 10 oz Silver Kookaburra Coin marked a brief uptick in demand for the coins. With 45,000 coins struck, the Perth Mint saw the highest demand for the 10 oz silver coin in its history in the series. On top of that, the 10 oz coin has not seen a mintage anywhere near that level in the years since 2011.
On the reverse of 2011 10 oz Australian Silver Kookaburra Coins is the image of a single kookaburra. This iconic bird of the Outback is depicted with its wings spread wide as it prepares to lift off into flight from a tree branch. Engravings denote the coin series, year of issue, weight, purity, and metal content. There is also a “P” mint mark on the coin.
The obverse of 2011 Australian Silver Kookaburra Coins features the image of Queen Elizabeth II. Her Majesty is depicted here in the fourth-generation design from Ian Rank-Broadley and was used on British coinage from 1998 to 2015, and Commonwealth coinage from 1998 to 2018.
