Australian Kookaburra 1 oz. Silver 1998

Australia is known for its incredible wildlife, a variety of different species thriving in dry, arid environments. Among these species is the kookaburra, a bird native to Australia and is part of the Kingfisher species. This special bird has an assortment of colors, depending on the gender of the bird and which breed it is. Kookaburras are also known to live in the eucalyptus forests, remaining high above the trees. But the major trait the Kookaburra carries, that separates them from any other bird, is their interesting call. Their call resembles human laughter and depending on which bird is calling, the forms of laughter differ. If someone is not used to their call, it can be quite a frightening experience when roaming the Outback. It is no wonder this interesting bird has a whole coin collection produced in its name and features a different bird, on the reverse, every year.

Your 1998 Silver Kookaburra weighs one full troy ounce of silver, comes sparkling with the "newly struck" brilliant uncirculated finish, and is perfectly fitted into an airtight capsule for the utmost protection during shipment, extending into storage. The harmonious balance of matte and proof-like finishes give this coin dimension and the marvelous perception that the fence goes on forever.
