Celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the Kookaburra Kilo Coin with the 2015 1 Kilo Australian Kookaburra Silver Coin

The Perth Mint is commemorating the 25th anniversary of the Silver Kookaburra series with the original coin design from 1990. This issue also includes a privy mark commemorating 2015 as the Year of the Goat.

The Australian Silver Kookaburra is Australia's longest-running bullion coin series. It launched a tradition at the Perth Mint of displaying native species from the continent on official coinage when it was first released in 1990. SD Bullion is now selling the 2015 1 Kilo Australian Silver Kookaburra Coin.

Each 2015 1 Kilo Australian Silver Kookaburra is crafted from one kilogram of fine silver (.999). The Kookaburra, a bird native to Australia and New Guinea, is well-known for its laugh-like call. The birds can be found in Australia's woodland and desert savannahs. Stamps denoting the eagle, the coin's weight and purity, and the minting year surround this portrait. 

Design of the 1 Kilo 2015 Kokkaburra Silver 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 (30 DOLLARS).

The reverse side features an adult Kookaburra perched on a tree stump surrounded by eucalyptus leaves and a fern, as well as the coin's purity and the years 1990-2015. It also has a special Goat privy label to commemorate the Lunar Year of the Goat in 2015. Each kilo coin features an annually changing design with one constant – the unique kookaburra bird. Perth Mint’s mintmark ‘P25’ can also be seen on this side – proudly boasting the coin’s source and denoting the 25th anniversary.
