Australian Kookaburra 1 oz. Silver 1994

Being native to the eucalyptus forests in Australia, the kookaburra is the largest member of the Kingfisher family. The Kookaburra is considered carnivorous, preying on mice, reptiles, insects, and causing farmers to be angry since they steal their fowl. This specific type of bird is known for something else that sets it apart from other birds. The kookaburra's cackle weirdly sounds like human laughter and depending on which kookaburra it is, the laughters can be differentiated. Kookaburras also mate for life causing the male to help the female with protecting their young. It is no wonder that this interesting bird is featured on the Perth Mint's silver bullion coin collection. This collection took off in 1990 and has become a staple in many experienced collectors' and investors' repertoire.

Your 1994 Silver Kookaburra is one of 300,000 minted, a coin that is difficult to find and perfect for your own collection. It also comes excellently packaged in a mint-sealed capsule, weighing one solid ounce of .999 fine silver. The remarkable balance between the brilliant uncirculated finish with the proof-like sheen makes this coin the perfect fit for any situation.

-Reverse: Two baby kookaburras are on the reverse of the 1994 silver coin. While the background is in an excellent matte finish, the birds come out of the coin, due to their proof-like quality.
