2024 Australian Kookaburra 2oz High-Relief Gilded Coin
This stunning coin release features the impression of the latest kookaburra design. Famed for its raucous laughing call, the kookaburra is heard across Australia – from the outback to the back yard. The kookaburra has been featured on Perth Mint coins for over 30 years, delighting collectors with much-loved artistic representations of the iconic bird.
Each coin is struck by The Perth Mint from 2oz of 99.99% pure silver and issued as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965.
The Perth Mint will release no more than 2,000 of the Australian Kookaburra 2024 2oz Silver Proof High Relief Gilded Coin.
DESIGN
The coin’s design depicts a representation of a kookaburra in flight over a gorge with a snake in its talons. The bird, snake and outer ring of the coin are gilded in 24-carat gold. The reverse also includes the inscription ‘KOOKABURRA’, a ‘P125’ mintmark signifying The Perth Mint’s 125th anniversary, and the coin’s weight, purity and 2024 year-date.
The obverse depicts the Dan Thorne effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, and the monetary denomination.
The coin has been struck with an extra-deep blank to showcase its superbly detailed design in The Mint’s traditional high relief finish.
