The kookaburra, the largest member of the kingfisher family, is a fascinating bird native to eastern and southern Australia. Known for its powerful beak, which can grow up to 10 centimeters, the bird uses this tool for its predatory lifestyle, expertly hunting and capturing prey. Social and territorial, kookaburras often live in family groups, with younger birds helping to care for new offspring.

The 2025 1 oz Australian Silver Kookaburra Coins come in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, packaged securely in individual acrylic capsules. For larger orders, rolls of 20 coins are sealed in plastic, while boxes of 100 coins contain five rolls each. This 35th-anniversary release is particularly special, featuring a privy mark of the original 1990 design alongside the new 2025 imagery.

The obverse side of the 2025 Australian Silver Kookaburra Coin features an effigy of King Charles III, designed by Dan Thorne. This left-profile portrait marks the first generation of images of His Majesty on Perth Mint coins, showcasing the monarch without a crown.

On the reverse, the 2025 1 oz Silver Kookaburra Coins display a beautifully detailed depiction of the laughing kookaburra. Perched on a branch, this design celebrates the bird’s significance as an Australian symbol while paying homage to the coin series’ history. The 1990 Kookaburra design is included as a small privy mark on this side of the coin, tying together past and present.
