1 oz Kookaburra Silver Coin | 2024
With this coin for the year 2024, the renowned Australian mint "The Perth Mint" once again demonstrates its absolute craftsmanship, especially in the detailed depiction of the "Australian Kookaburra". The Perth Mint has been minting this coin every year since 1990. The kookaburra, a species in the kingfisher family, is regarded as Australia's national bird. It plays an important role for the indigenous Aborigines who live there. Legend has it that a god created this animal to wake people up in the morning with its loud singing. In this way, people would never miss the sunrise! In this country, this bird is also known as "laughing Hans".
The obverse
It shows you a particularly detailed kookaburra in flight over a gorge indicated by mountains, holding a snake in its claws. This motif is framed by the lettering "KOOKABURRA" on the right-hand side and "P125" further down. The Perth Mint is celebrating its 125th anniversary with this symbol. On the left side you can see the year of minting "2024", the fine weight and the fineness:" 1 oz 9999 SILVER".
The reverse
For the first time, this coin features the portrait of King Charles III, who, unlike his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, is looking to the left. If you look very closely, you can make out the letters "DT" at about the height of the king's indicated jacket collar. These stand for the name "Dan Thorne", the creator of this royal likeness. It is framed by the lettering "CHARLES III" and "AUSTRALIA" as the country of origin of this coin. Here you will also find the face value, namely "1 DOLLAR". The fine weight is 31.1035g.
