Australian Kookaburra – 1 Dollar Silver Coin

Australian Kookaburra – 1 Dollar Silver Coin (2000)
1 oz .999 Fine Silver – Perth Mint

Part of the renowned Australian Kookaburra series issued by the Perth Mint, this coin celebrates one of Australia’s most recognizable native birds and is highly appreciated by both collectors and silver investors.

The reverse features a beautifully detailed engraving of the Kookaburra perched on a branch, surrounded by the inscription “The Australian Kookaburra – 1 oz 999 Silver – 2000.” The design captures the natural texture of the bird’s feathers and reflects the artistic precision that has made the Kookaburra series internationally respected.

The obverse displays the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Ian Rank-Broadley, with the inscription “Elizabeth II – Australia – 1 Dollar.” This confirms its status as legal tender issued by Australia.

Struck in 1 troy ounce of .999 fine silver, the coin combines investment-grade precious metal with collectible appeal thanks to the annually changing designs of the Kookaburra series. It is preserved in a protective transparent capsule, maintaining the coin’s brilliance and protecting it from handling.
