Description
The 2020 1oz Australian Kookaburra 30th Anniversary Silver Coin by The Perth Mint.
The Kookaburra, Australia’s renowned bird and a kingfisher family member, is known for its distinct behaviour of avoiding fishing. It feeds on invertebrates and smaller vertebrates. The name ‘Kookaburra’ originates from the Wiradjuri word “guuguubarra,” mimicking its distinctive laugh. This laugh, often heard at dawn, is a beloved symbol of an Australian morning, heralding the start of a splendid day.
Initiated in 1990, the Kookaburra coin program is the Perth Mint’s longest-standing bullion initiative, featuring a fresh artistic rendition annually. This program has made the Kookaburra one of Australia’s most iconic native birds, and the coin a consistent bestseller.

- Official Australian currency with a face value of $1, backed by a government guarantee of purity
