2011 10 oz Australian Kookaburra Silver Coin

The Kookaburra Silver Coins from the Perth Mint are one of the most well-known coin series in the world, and with good reason: they feature beautiful, annually-changing styles that celebrate the beauty of Australian wildlife. These 2011 10 oz Australian Kookaburra Silver Coins are one of three silver coins released by Australia in 2011.

These coins were first released in 1990 as part of a series aimed at highlighting Australia's rare fauna. Moreover, this coin is the inspiration behind the well-known Kangaroo and Koala coins, which are released annually by the Perth Mint.

Each coin is struck with 0.9999 pure silver totaling 10 troy ounces. Additionally, the Australian government backs their legal tender status, as shown by the official face values of $10 (AUD) given to them. 

The Design of the Coin

The obverse face of these coins, like all other Australian coins, have a striking portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. The letters 'IRB' stand for Ian Rank-Broadley, the artist who created this picture. The Queen's name (ELIZABETH II), the issuing country's name (AUSTRALIA), and the coin's face value all surround this image (10 DOLLARS).

The reverse face features the depiction of the majestic Kookaburra bird, a Kingfisher species native to Australia – regularly seen throughout the island nation. These large coins celebrate the rich natural heritage of the country with a beautiful design portraying this unique bird. This design is encircled by the words 'Australian Kookaburra,' followed by the weight and purity of the silver in the coin.
