Kookaburra 1 kg Silver Coin Massive Investment

The Kookaburra series issued in 2012, among which we have the Kookaburra 1kg silver coin, is following on the footsteps of the Koala series that also comprised silver bullion coins and has a little more tradition, being issued starting with the year 2007. There are a lot of things that these bullion coins manufactured from silver have in common. Their design and inscriptions present on both sides of the coin are similar, the only difference being the Australian animal engraved.

Another common feature is the denominations in which the two series are minted. The Kookaburra series is minted in 1oz, 10oz and the Kookaburra 1kg silver coin just like the Koala silver bullion coins which are also present in the 1/2oz denomination.

The difference between them is that the Perth Mint decided to issue a limited number of silver coins illustrating a Kookaburra whereas the Koala series was mint to order. Its mintage would stop only when the announcement of the Koala coin for the next year was realized by the Perth Mint.
