The kookaburra is a bird indigenous to Australia that exhibits quite a unique call. Locals have deemed the kookaburra's call representative of human laughter and depending on which type of kookaburra, the laughs are different. Kookaburras are also carnivores wherein they prey on small rodents, baby birds, reptiles, and insects. There have even been accounts of kookaburras taking meat straight off of a barbecue. This incredibly interesting bird has earned itself a spot on the reverse of the Silver Kookaburra series with different designs of the kookaburra.
Your 2017 Silver Kookaburra is guaranteed, by the Perth Mint, to be one full ounce of .999 pure silver and comes in its original mint-sealed capsule.

You can also enjoy the series for yourself and take pride that you own a prestigious collection from a reputable mint!
