1997 1 oz Australian Kookaburra Silver Coin

These 1997 1 oz Australian Kookaburra Silver Coins have a declared mintage of just 159,497 coins. SD Bullion offers collectors and investors a chance at snagging the 8th coin in Perth Mint’s Kookaburra Silver Coin program. Each Kookaburra Silver Coin is struck using 1 troy ounce of 0.999 pure silver. Moreover, every coin has legal tender status in Australia and carries a $1 (AUD) face value – backed by the government. Although the coins display annually changing designs on their reverse, the coins’ obverses feature Raphael Maklouf’s portrayal of Queen Elizabeth II every year. Until this design is updated on Australian legal tender coinage, it will remain a constant feature on all Australian currency coins. The reverses of these silver coins feature an adult kookaburra perched on the edge of its nest, feeding its young. These 1997 1 oz Australian Kookaburra Silver Coins are excellent for expanding coin collections as well as investment portfolios. While coin collectors can inch toward completing the full set of kookaburra coins, precious metals investors will be able to diversify their investments to solidify against market shocks.
