Being the star of the Silver Kookaburra series, the Australian Kookaburra is a very interesting bird that has earned its spot on the silver bullion coin since 1990. The kookaburra is native to the eucalyptus forests in Eastern Australia and is mainly known for their call. Their call greatly resembles that of human laughter and more specifically, cackling. These birds are also carnivorous, preying on anything between mice to insects to baby birds. It also has been witnessed that these birds have stolen meat from outdoor barbecues and aren't afraid of humans. The Perth Mint has always admired the varieties of wildlife in the Australian outback. Collectors and investors get to enjoy the fruit of this admiration and are given the opportunity to invest in prime silver bullion collections.
Your 2011 Silver Kookaburra is guaranteed, by the oldest mint in Australia, to contain 10 full ounces of .999 fine silver and is excellently packaged in a mint-sealed capsule to ensure proper protection during shipment and storage. Your coin shines with the "newly minted" sheen of a brilliant uncirculated coin, also exhibiting features that are proof-like. The Silver Kookaburra series is offered in various sizes, allowing any budget or investment goal the ability to obtain this incredibly unique collection.
