How would you like a coin straight from the oldest operating mint in Australia? The Perth Mint started producing the Silver Kookaburra series in 1990 and what better way to celebrate its 10 year anniversary than by starting the collection? There have been plenty of mints that have come and gone in Australia but few can say they were around during the famous and historical gold rushes. In fact, the Perth Mint supplied local miners with goods in trade for the gold they mined. Some might think that isn't a fair trade but in those times, it would be difficult for miners to get paid the amount of gold they mined and some would barely be able to afford basic luxuries. The miners getting paid with goods not only helped themselves but also their families back at home. What a great story to tell when showing off your Silver Kookaburra collection to admiring eyes!
Your 2000 Silver Kookaburra is guaranteed to be one ounce of .999 pure silver and considerately packaged in an airtight coin capsule. The remarkable luster of the "freshly struck" brilliant uncirculated finish is just the icing on the cake.
Coin Highlights

-Obverse: The famous Ian Rank-Broadley portrait of Queen Elizabeth II is gracefully featured on the obverse of the 2000 kookaburra coin. This portrait of the Queen realistically depicts her aging through the years instead of hiding it. The coin's legal tender value of 1 dollar is also displayed to prove its validity.
-Reverse: A lone kookaburra is pictured on the reverse side of the coin. This magnificent bird is peacefully perched on a branch from a eucalyptus tree, where kookaburras usually set up their nests. The reverse also bears the coin series' name, purity, weight, and date of mintage.
