The kookaburra is a cherished part of Australian culture, recognized worldwide for its distinctive laugh and celebrated locally through the popular children’s song “Kookaburra Sits in the Old Gum Tree.” This song, written by Marion Sinclair in the 1930s, has introduced generations of Australians to the beauty of their native wildlife. Since 1990, the Perth Mint has honored the kookaburra with a silver bullion coin series. Now, 2025 10 oz Australian Silver Kookaburra Coins are available online from BullionMax.

The obverse of the 2025 10 oz Silver Kookaburra Coin showcases an effigy of King Charles III. This left-profile portrait was designed by Dan Thorne and is the first-generation depiction of Charles III featured on Australian coinage. The king is presented without a crown, a style that aligns with the modern approach of portraying the monarch.

On the reverse of the 2025 Australian Silver Kookaburra Coin are two unique depictions of the iconic bird. The main design shows a kookaburra in left-profile relief, perched on a tree branch. A smaller privy mark in the lower left includes the original 1990 design, commemorating the 35th anniversary of this beloved coin series.

Kookaburras are easily identified by their striking plumage, which combines a cream-white underside with brown wings and back. Their heads are adorned with a dark brown stripe through the eye and a mix of light and dark brown tones on the crown. While male and female kookaburras appear similar, females are slightly larger and often feature more pronounced reddish-brown coloring on their tails.

These 2025 10 oz Australian Silver Kookaburra Coins are packaged individually in protective capsules. Each coin is in Brilliant Uncirculated condition and is part of an unlimited mintage, meaning Perth Mint will strike them to meet demand through the end of 2025.
