1990 1 oz Australian Kookaburra Silver Coin

The launch of the Australian Kookaburra Silver Coin was a momentous event – energizing the precious metals investment and collecting market. These 1 oz 1990 Australian Kookaburra Silver Coins are part of the release that introduced the popular Kookaburra series to the world in 1990. Each of these coins contains 1 troy ounce of 0.999 fine silver. Moreover, they also carry $5 (AUD) face values. Interestingly, 1990 and 1991 are the only years in which the coins bore $5 face values, as it was reduced to $1 (AUD) 1992 onwards. Obverses of these silver coins display Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s third effigy – created by the Royal Mint sculptor Raphael Maklouf. This image is accompanied by the inscriptions ‘ELIZABETH II,’ ‘AUSTRALIA,’ and ‘5 DOLLARS.’ On the other hand, the designs on the reverse sides of these coins were what enamored collectors and investors – as the coin program promised a brand-new Kookaburra portrayal every year. Dr. Stuart Devlin AO CMG created this year’s (1990) design, depicting an adult kookaburra perched on a tree stump – surrounded by leaves and fern. These 1 oz 1990 Australian Kookaburra Silver Coins are critical purchases for any coin collector who hopes to own the complete Kookaburra Silver Coin collection. In fact, since this is the very first release under the famous coin program, makes it all the more desirable.
