The 2019 Australian Silver Kookaburra issue was part of a transition period for the series at Perth Mint. The 2018 coin in the Silver Kookaburra Series was the first to feature .9999 pure silver content, and these 2019 coins are available for the first time with the sixth-generation Australian effigy of Queen Elizabeth II on the coins.
The obverse of 2019 Australian Silver Kookaburra Pig Privy Coins features a new image of Queen Elizabeth II. In this design, Her Majesty is shown in right-profile relief with the George IV State Diadem Crown on her head. The design was first created in 2015 by Jody Clark for the Royal Mint and British coinage, and debuted on Australian coins in 2018/2019. The portrait shows the Queen at the age of 89.
On the reverse side of 2019 1 oz Silver Kookaburra Pig Privy Coins, you will find the latest depiction of the kookaburra. The design shows the kookaburra perched on a small log emerging from a shallow body of water. The sun is shown setting in the distance with its rays rippling across the surface of the water.
Perth Mint was opened in 1899 to serve as a third branch facility of the Royal Mint on the Australian continent. Under the Currency Act of 1965, coinage from Perth Mint is Australian legal tender.
