With so many interesting facts connected to the species, the Silver Kookaburra series is the perfect conversation piece. Your 2014 Silver Kookaburra weighs one perfect ounce of .999 silver and is kindly packaged in an airtight capsule to secure protection.
There are many reasons why the Perth Mint chose the kookaburra to make an entire coin collection after. The kookaburra is indigenous to the eucalyptus forests, located in Eastern Australia and is so important to the culture that they are considered spirit animals. These birds mate for life and both are influential in the raising of their young. Also, the kookaburra's gender can be determined by the colors in its feathers, which is referred to as sexually dimorphic. Kookaburras are carnivorous and prey on small rodents, insects, fish, reptiles, etc. and they don't really have any predators to worry about. But the main reason why these birds get so much attention is for their unusual call, which strikingly resembles human laughter. The picture of two kookaburra mates makes for the perfect gift for a wedding or anniversary. Mark the special occasion in your life with a silver token carrying history and symbolism.
