Australian Kookaburra 1 oz. Silver 1996

The Perth Mint is considered the oldest, operating mint in Australia. It was first established in 1899, right before the turn of the century, and has kept up with bullion market trends throughout the decades. The Perth Mint also played a major part in the historic gold rushes that we can only dream about and paid miners for the precious metals in terms of goods. This kind act not only supported local business but it also gave people jobs, who normally were unemployed. In the modern day precious metals' market, the Perth Mint is a leading producer in numismatic coin series and quality bullion products. Among the amazing bullion coin collections, the Silver Kookaburra series surfaced and has kept buyers intrigued since 1990. Each coin offers a new and different design than from the year before and all come packaged in excellent airtight capsules.

The 1996 Silver Kookaburra reveals the first active bird in the series. Up until now, every bird has been depicted as perched and alert, not effortlessly soaring through the Outback's sky. The Perth Mint's Silver Kookaburra series is the collection you will want to brag about!
