2 oz Silver Kookaburra – The Perth Mint
The 2 oz Silver Kookaburra is a standout in The Perth Mint’s globally renowned bullion series. Struck from two troy ounces of .999 fine silver (later upgraded to .9999 in select years), each coin showcases annually changing reverse designs featuring Australia’s beloved kookaburra—a bird known for its distinctive call and deep cultural ties to the Australian landscape.

Obverse Design:

Reverse Design:
Showcases a unique artistic rendering of the kookaburra, Australia’s native kingfisher, often depicted perched on branches or captured in flight.

First introduced in 1990, the Australian Silver Kookaburra Series was the first legal tender bullion coin program to feature a new reverse design each year. The 2 oz format, introduced in 1991, offers greater silver content and visual impact, while still benefiting from the series’ low mintages and strong numismatic demand.
