Another release under the illustrious Kookaburra silver coin series, these 1 oz 2012 Australian Kookaburra Silver Coins are now available at SD Bullion. The Perth Mint annually launches silver coins under this coin program – making this a globally awaited annual event.

Each of these coins contains 1 troy ounce of 0.999 pure silver, and also carry a $1 (AUD) face value.

Obverses of these coins bear the impressive likeness of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, created by Ian Rank-Broadley. This portrayal is used on all Australian coinage as the Queen is considered the official head of state. The Queen’s name ‘Elizabeth II,’ the issuing country ‘Australia,’ and the face value ‘1 Dollar’ encircle the image of Her Majesty.

The silver coins’ reverse sides display the Kookaburra bird – a bird species unique to the Australian continent. Its beak is slightly open, head cocked to the side, as it sits on a branch looking into the distance.

The incredible detail of this design is one of the standout features of these coins. The name of the coin ‘Australian Kookaburra’ and the weight and purity of silver in the coin are imprinted above and below the Kookaburra’s image.

These 1 oz 2012 Australian Kookaburra Silver Coins are integral parts of the Australian Kookaburra series – making them essential to any silver coin collections with a focus on Australian coinage. Their pure silver content and massive popularity makes them excellent precious metals investment assets as well – helping expand silver investments to diversify portfolios.
