2025 1 oz Australian Kookaburra Gold-Plated Silver Coin

The Perth Mint proudly celebrates the 35th Anniversary of the Australian Kookaburra Series with the 2025 1 oz Gold-Plated Silver Coin, a stunning tribute to one of Australia’s most beloved native birds and one of the Mint’s longest-running bullion programs.

Since its debut in 1990, the Kookaburra Series has stood as a hallmark of artistry and quality in modern bullion, with annually changing reverse designs capturing the character and charm of this iconic bird. For 2025, the Perth Mint honors the series’ legacy with a brilliant gold-plated edition, blending .9999 fine silver with luxurious gilded highlights and a nostalgic nod to the original Kookaburra design.

Each coin is struck from 1 troy ounce of 99.99% pure silver, features selective gold plating, and bears legal tender status under the Australian Currency Act of 1965. This limited-edition release is both a collector’s showpiece and a meaningful anniversary keepsake.

The Design

The reverse features a majestic kookaburra perched gracefully upon a tree branch, surrounded by the soft rays of a stylized sunburst. A privy mark near the edge of the design displays the original 1990 Kookaburra illustration, paying homage to the series’ beginnings.

Encircling inscriptions read “KOOKABURRA 35TH ANNIVERSARY”, along with the Perth Mint’s “P” mint mark, the 2025 year-date, and specifications noting the coin’s weight and purity. The selective gold plating enhances the bird and key design elements, creating a radiant contrast against the prooflike silver field.

The obverse depicts His Majesty King Charles III, designed by Dan Thorne, with inscriptions of the monarch’s name, the monetary denomination, and the nation of issue, Australia.
