The Perth Mint is fully owned and run by the government of Western Australia. Perth Mint's state-of-the-art factory is located at 310 Hay Street in East Perth. This building is 8,400 square meters (90,000 square feet). The Kookaburra silver coin series is one of the coin bullion series that the Perth Mint manufactures. The Perth Mint issued these coins in the 1990s. The design of these silver coins is updated every year, and they are produced from pure silver amounting to .999. The kookaburra, which is the biggest member of the kingfisher group, is a popular visitor to residential gardens in Australia. Because Perth is only able to create and distribute a maximum of 500,000 coins (since 2011), collectors who have an interest in Australian coins anxiously anticipate each new release of this series of coins.
Australia's coins always have a kookaburra bird on them, but the pattern changes yearly. While the sun is going down over the horizon, a 2019 coin shows a kookaburra sitting on a tree branch extending out of the water. A kookaburra in the middle of its flight is shown on the 2018 coin. The 2022 coin for Australia has a beautiful picture of a Kookaburra sitting on the edge of a birdbath on the design. Flowers of the Agapanthus plant, which grows in many Australian parks, can be seen in the background. Not only are the words "KOOKABURRA" engraved on the coin, but the characteristics of the coin itself, like as its weight, purity, and the year it was issued, are also featured. The opposite side of the coin also has the usual portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. The 2024 Australian Kookaburra 1oz Silver Coin has a beautiful picture of a kookaburra, flying through a canyon with a snake in its claws. The essence of the kookaburra's playful demeanour and its ability to hunt prey is brilliantly captured in this dynamic design. The design has the year, the weight, the purity, the word "KOOKABURRA," and a special "P125" mintmark to honour Perth Mint's 125th anniversary. The image of His Majesty King Charles III, which was designed by Dan Thorne, is on show on the obverse of the coin.
Australian Silver Kookaburras come in four different weights. A single silver coin weighing one ounce was the only one that was available when the series was originally introduced in the year 1990. Additionally, silver coins measuring one kilogram, ten ounces, and two ounces were brought in.
