Buy 2019 1 Kilo Australian Kookaburra Silver Coins
The 2019 1 Kilo Australian Kookaburra Silver Coins are the heaviest coins released under this coin program this year. Keeping in line with all previous issues, Perth Mint has launched this year's Kookaburra coins with yet another variation of the annually-changing Kookaburra design.
Established as a subsidiary of the Royal Mint in London, the Perth Mint’s original purpose was to refine and mint gold bullion sovereigns and half-sovereigns for use in the commonwealth of the British Empire. Today, it is owned by the Government of Western Australia and produces legal tender for Australia in conjunction with the Royal Australian Mint. It is now the oldest functioning mint on the continent.Â
Each of these coins contains 1 kilogram (32.15 troy ounces) of 0.9999 pure silver. Moreover, an official face value of $30 (AUD) indicates the backing of the Australian government as well as the coins' legal tender status.Â
The coin's obverse, like all other legal tender coinage in Australia, portrays the majestic Ian Rank-Broadley image of Queen Elizabeth II -- with her name, name of the issuing country, and the purity and weight of the silver encircling it.Â
On the other hand, the reverses depict a majestic Kookaburra bird perching atop a branch. Showing off a serene, scenic view, the aforementioned branch is above a body of calm water, overlooking the sunset. This design is accompanied by the words 'Australian Kookaburra,' followed by the purity and weight of the silver in the coin.
These 2019 1 Kilo Australian Kookaburra Silver Coins from the Perth Mint are integral parts of the Kookaburra coin program and if you're looking to complete your sets, you should grab them before their stocks run dry. Their limited mintage also makes them an attractive investment proposition to investors who see value in the considerable weight of pure silver on offer, along with gorgeous designs that celebrate the unique Australian wildlife.
