Boasting a declared mintage of just 213,436, the 2007 1 oz Australian Kookaburra Silver Coins are the scarcest coins compared to any subsequent releases.
Struck annually by
the Perth Mint, Australia’s official bullion mint, the
Kookaburra Silver Coin was first released in 1990. Ever since that year, the annually changing designs of these coins has mesmerized collectors and investors.
Each of these coins contains 1 troy ounce of 0.999 pure silver. Moreover, they carry $1 (AUD) face values, fully backed by the legal tender status granted to them by the Australian Government.
The reverse sides of these coins feature a graceful depiction of the kookaburra. Justin Graham, the artist credited with this design, has set the scene with the bird perched atop a branch that is half-submerged in water.
On the other hand, the obverses display Ian Rank-Broadley’s rendition of Queen Elizabeth II. Her Majesty is depicted with her trademark crown, exuding a regal grace that is captured beautifully by the artist.
These 2007 1 oz Australian Kookaburra Silver Coins will be marvelous additions to coin collections and precious metals investment portfolios. While coin collections can inch toward completing the full set of kookaburra coins, precious metals portfolios can use the diversification these coins bring.
