1995 1 oz Australian Kookaburra Silver Coin

The terrestrial tree kingfishers native to Australia are known as Kookaburras. These unique birds form the basis on which the Perth Mint launched the famed Kookaburra Silver Coin program in 1990. These 1 oz 1995 Australian Kookaburra Silver Coins are among the earlier releases of under this program – launched just 5 years after the first silver coin in this series was introduced. The Perth Mint releases Kookaburra Silver Coins every year – with reverse designs that vary year-to-year. The mint has run several successful coin programs. Due to a steady stream of high-quality bullion products, it is considered one of the most popular mints in the world. Each of these 1995 Kookaburra Silver Coins is struck using 1 troy ounce of 0.999 pure silver. Moreover, all of them carry $1 (AUD) legal tender values – indicating the full backing of the Australian government. The obverses of these coins bear the familiar image of Queen Elizabeth II – created by Raphael Maklouf. Her right-profile portrayal depicts her wearing the magnificent royal crown. The coin’s face value, the Queen’s name, and the name of the issuing country are imprinted around this image. Perched elegantly on a tree branch, an Australian kookaburra bird graces the reverse sides of these coins. Tony Dean – a famous Australian sculptor and engraver, created this year’s (1995) kookaburra portrayal. These 1 oz 1995 Australian Kookaburra Silver Coins will make valuable additions to both coin collections as well as precious metals portfolios. Moreover, they make thoughtful gifts for those who appreciate beautiful imagery on the purest of silver.
