Australia 2022 Silver Coin – Kookaburra

First minted in 1990 by the renowned Perth Mint factory, the coin was the first silver bullion piece issued in honor of one of the most adorable birds – the Australian Kookaburra.

The Kookaburra is the largest kingfisher and the national bird of Australia.

In 2022, the motif appears in a new design: a kookaburra sitting on an ornamented bird bath. The Agapanthus plant, typical of Australian gardens, is shown in the background. The “KOOKABURRA” lettering, the traditional “P” mint mark of the Perth Mint, and the year of issue, weight and fineness complete the design. The reverse of the coin features an image of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
