Series: Australian Kookaburra

Series History: A series of investment coins "Australian Kookaburra" has been issued by the Perth Mint since 1990. The series has gained international recognition for its stunning designs and high quality execution. The main feature of the coins in the series is the annually changing design depicting the kookaburra, a bird that is a symbol of Australia.
-Obverse: The obverse of the coin traditionally depicts the profile of Queen Elizabeth II. Several artists have contributed to the design over time. The portrait was originally done by Raphael Maklouf and later by Ian Rank-Broadley. Recent coins may feature portraits by Jody Clark. The obverse features the Queen's name, the country of issue "Australia" and the face value of the coin.
-Reverse: The reverse side of each coin features a kookaburra in a variety of poses and scenes that change each year. This is one of the hallmarks of the series, making it particularly attractive to collectors. The kookaburra is always depicted with great attention to detail and realism.The reverse also features the year of issue, the weight and fineness of the metal, and the inscription "Australian Kookaburra". The coins have a face value in Australian dollars. Some years have limited mintages, which increases their collector value. Mintage limits make them rarer and more sought after by collectors.
The kookaburra depicted on the coins has important cultural significance to Australia. It is known for its distinctive laugh, which can often be heard along many regions of the country. This makes the design of these coins especially appealing to those interested in Australian fauna. Investment coins "Australian Kookaburra" are an excellent choice for both precious metals investors and collectors.
