Beyond its cultural symbolism, the kookaburra has earned the nickname “farmer’s friend” for its habit of hunting snakes and other potentially dangerous creatures in rural Australia. This relationship between humans and kookaburras has created a deep sense of respect among Australians, who often see the bird as both a protector and a reminder of their connection to the land. Since 1990, the Perth Mint has celebrated this iconic bird with the Silver Kookaburra Series. Right now, 2025 1 Kilo Australian Silver Kookaburra Coins are available from BullionMax.

The kookaburra is well-known for its expressive face, marked by dark, sharp eyes and a beak structure that gives the appearance of a permanent “smile.” Its short, rounded wings are perfect for its hunting strategy of perching and swooping, while its long, broad tail helps maintain balance during precise hunting maneuvers.

The obverse of the 2025 Australian Silver Kookaburra Coin features a left-profile portrait of King Charles III. Created by Dan Thorne, this effigy marks the first-generation bust of King Charles III on Australian coins and shows the monarch without a crown.

On the reverse of the 2025 1 Kilo Silver Kookaburra, you’ll find a fresh design of the kookaburra in left-profile relief, perched on a branch. This side also includes a special privy mark showcasing the original 1990 design used in the debut of the series.
