The Australian Kookaburra Silver Bullion Coin |
|
Perhaps you haven't heard of this sterling establishment here in the UK, but the Perth Mint is Australia's oldest currently operating bullion mint. Today, the Mint is responsible for manufacturing most of Australia's legal tender silver and gold coins, including Australian Silver Kookaburra coins. The Perth Mint, is backed and owned by the Australian government, which guarantees the authenticity of the gold and silver minted there. This cast iron government guarantee makes Perth Mint products popular with both Australian citizens and international investors alike. One of the most beautiful coins minted here is the Silver Kookaburra containing one troy ounce of .999 fine silver. They were first issued in 1990 and have a face value of $1, a weight of 31.635g, diameter of 40.60mm and a thickness of 4.00 mm. |

These coins are legal tender in Australia and the design changes annually, however an image of a kookaburra is always used. These birds are a form of kingfisher native to Australia and New Guinea, and are reknowned for their call which has often been described as like that of a laughing person. 1 ounce Kookaburras are beautiful coins and will make a welcome addition to any international silver coin collection, indeed you may be laughing like a kookaburra when you secure one or more of these lovely coins for your bullion stack. |
