Struck in 1 ounce of pure silver with gold plating, this popular Australian kookaburra coin was created exclusively for the Perth Stamp & Coin Show. The kookaburra is known for its iconic, cackling call that echoes through the Australian bush at dawn, earning it the nickname "the woodsman's clock" for its reliable morning chorus. A member of the kingfisher family, it is admired for its robust build, sharp beak, and keen hunting skills. Its presence in folklore, art, and children's songs has made the kookaburra a cherished symbol of Australian wildlife and identity. The coin's reverse depicts the famous bush bird in flight over a river, framed by lush trees and craggy rocks. The design includes the inscription “KOOKABURRA”, the Perth Mint’s “P” mintmark, the weight, purity and the year of minting 2026. The reverse of the package features a folding stand for displaying the coin upright.
