Story

An investor’s favourite

Now in its fourth decade and as popular as ever with investors, the Australian Kookaburra is an iconic silver bullion coin series featuring annual designs of one of Australia’s most recognisable birds.

Famed for its raucous laughing call, the beady-eyed kookaburra is heard across Australia – from the outback to the back yard.

2022 Australian kookaburra design

The 2022 Australian Kookaburra design is a reminder of the chortling creature’s flourishing presence in suburban neighbourhoods.

The design portrays the regular visitor perched on an ornamental bird bath among agapanthus, flowering plants regularly seen in Australian gardens. As well as the inscription ‘KOOKABURRA’, the reverse design also includes the coin’s weight, purity and year-date. 


Authentication feature

For additional peace of mind, the coin incorporates an authentication feature in the form of a micro-laser engraved letter. Detectable under a magnifying glass, it is designed to make it significantly more difficult for the coin to be counterfeited.

Presentation

Each coin is presented in a protective acrylic capsule.
