Being native to the eucalyptus forests in Australia, the kookaburra is the largest member of the Kingfisher family. The Kookaburra is considered carnivorous, preying on mice, reptiles, insects, and causing farmers to be angry since they steal their fowl. This specific type of bird is known for something else that sets it apart from other birds. The kookaburra's cackle weirdly sounds like human laughter and depending on which kookaburra it is, the laughters can be differentiated. Kookaburras also mate for life causing the male to help the female with protecting their young. It is no wonder that this interesting bird is featured on the Perth Mint's silver bullion coin collection. This collection took off in 1990 and has become a staple in many experienced collectors' and investors' repertoire.
Your 2018 Silver Kookaburra comes excellently packaged in a mint-sealed capsule, weighing one solid ounce of .999 fine silver. The remarkable balance between the brilliant uncirculated finish with the proof-like sheen makes this coin the perfect fit for any situation.
