The kookaburra holds iconic status in Australian culture, featuring prominently in Aboriginal Dreamtime stories and contemporary national identity. Its distinctive laughing call has become synonymous with the Australian bush, appearing in literature, art, and tourism materials.

The laughing kookaburra is among the largest members of the kingfisher family, with a robust body reaching lengths of up to 45 centimeters. Its most distinctive feature is its massive head, topped with a heavy, powerful beak that can grow up to 10 centimeters in length. This impressive bill is perfectly designed for the bird’s predatory lifestyle and serves as its primary tool for hunting and killing prey.

All of the 2025 1 oz Australian Silver Kookaburra Coins offered here are in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. These silver coins are packaged in acrylic capsules, with multiples of 20 coins sealed together in plastic rolls. Multiples of 100 arrive in a box with five rolls per box. The 2025 issue is the 35th-anniversary release in the collection and includes a privy on the reverse with a replication of the original 1990 Kookaburra design in addition to the new 2025 design.

On the obverse of the 2025 Australian Silver Kookaburra, you will find an effigy of King Charles III. This is the first-generation portrait of His Majesty and it was created by Dan Thorne. The image shows Charles III in left-profile relief without a crown.

The reverse of 2025 1 oz Silver Kookaburra Coins comes with a depiction of the kookaburra. The laughing kookaburra (Dacelo novaeguineae) is the largest member of the kingfisher family and is native to eastern and southern Australia, though it has been successfully introduced to other parts of the country and even to New Zealand. These birds are territorial and social, living in family groups that typically consist of a breeding pair and several helper birds, usually offspring from previous seasons.
