In 1990, the Perth Mint of Australia introduced a new series of silver coins depicting one of its native birds, the kookaburra. Since that debut, Australian Kookaburra silver coins have become one of the most popular annual series in existence.
Kookaburra High Relief Silver Coin
To mark a quarter of a century since their introduction, the Perth Mint has released unique 25th anniversary editions in 1-ounce and 5-ounce sizes that are in collector proof quality and in high-relief to enhance their detail.
Silver Coin Design and Specifications
Normally on these coins, the kookaburra design changes annually. In celebration of the anniversary, however, these new silver coins feature the original 1990 design by Dr. Stuart Devlin.
