First issued in 1990, the Australian silver kookaburra has become one of the world’s most sought-after silver bullion coins. Perth Mint really knows how to make collectors drool… What’s their secret? We suspect it’s a combination of annually-refreshed designs, limited mintages and superior quality. Let’s take a closer look at the 2022 silver kookaburra to give you an idea.

A closer look at the Australian 2022 1 oz silver kookaburra coin

Like other Perth Mint bullion coins, the silver kookaburra has a reverse design that changes annually. The 2022 design features one of these distinctly Australian birds perched on the edge of a birdbath. It’s a truly exquisite design! Artist Natasha Muhl has picked out the variety in textures on different parts of the bird’s body, from the delicate hairlike feathers that cover its head to the long, stiff flight feathers of its wingtips and tail. You’ll note flowers blooming in the background – those are Agapanthus, or Lily of the Nile, a popular garden flower in Australia. 

The obverse features Jody Clark’s 2015 portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II wearing the George IV state diadem, along with her coronation earrings and necklace. This is how she dresses when addressing Parliament. 

Note that the 1 oz silver kookaburra’s mintage is capped every year. Thanks to its changing design, this silver coin enjoys great worldwide demand. So if you want to complete (or start) your silver kookaburra collection, better get started!

Australian 1 oz silver kookaburra highlights:

  • Maximum annual mintage of 500,000 coins per year
  • 33 years of the Perth Mint 1 oz silver kookaburra series
  • Minted with 1 troy oz of 0.9999 pure silver in brand-new, fresh-from-the-mint condition
  • Official legal tender of Australia, with face value of $1
  • Micro-engraved anti-counterfeiting feature (visible only under magnification) on reverse
  • Individual coins sealed in acrylic capsules, straight from Perth Mint. Orders of 20+ silver kookaburra coins will come in sealed rolls from the mint. 

What is a kookaburra?

You might not recognize this bird’s name, but you’ve definitely heard them before… The kookaburra is an Australian native bird, the largest of the kingfisher family. It has a very distinctive call that you’ve heard in the background of every movie jungle scene. Listen for yourself!

Australian 1 oz silver kookaburra coin: historic mintage figures

Historically, the maximum mintage for any standard bullion issue of silver kookaburra 1 oz coins has been 500,000. However, over the last three decades, Perth Mint has rather frequently minted significantly fewer... These less-common mintage years may have additional collectible value.

How do you prepare packages for shipment?
All your purchased products are packaged under video surveillance to ensure quality control and packages are carefully and discreetly wrapped in generic corrugated boxes.


How do you ship my order?

Is my order insured while in transit?
Yes, BullionMax fully insures all of its shipments. Should anything happen while your package is in transit to you, it will be covered by our insurance policy.
However, we will not accept responsibility if you have left instructions with any carriers or delivery services to leave parcels unattended for you without the need for a signature, or if you have given the carrier instructions to leave your package with anyone other than the addressee. This includes but is not limited to a building manager, neighbor, a business mailroom, drop-off location such as Mail Boxes, etc., The UPS Store, the Military Postal Service, etc.
Additionally, we will not assume responsibility for packages that are signed for by apartment/complex building management, a business mailroom, the Military Postal Service, or any person(s) that are not the addressee listed on the order. When we ship to you, if metals are lost or damaged in transit, it is our responsibility to pursue any claim with the insurance company.

No. UPS 3-Day Air service excludes shipments to UPS Stores, as well as Alaska, Hawaii and APO addresses.

Should the package not arrive, an investigation of the shipment is required before any order is reshipped or refunded. We may ask you to file a police report if it appears loss is due to theft or tampering. Your assistance speeds up the investigation and the sooner we complete it, the sooner we can resolve the missing order.
