| Paradise Mint is the exclusive dealer for all of North America for this coin
This is the first time that an Australian Kookaburra coin has been offered in high relief. The coin features delightful original artistry and is struck by The Perth Mint from 99.9% pure silver in proof quality.
Kookaburras are best known for their unmistakable call, which sounds uncannily like loud, echoing human laughter.
Issued as legal tender under the Australian
Currency Act 1965, no more than 10,000 of these coins will be issued worldwide.
DESIGN
The coin’s reverse portrays a kookaburra perched on a tree branch with gum leaves. The design includes the inscription AUSTRALIAN KOOKABURRA, The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark and the 2012 year-date.
The Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and monetary denomination are depicted on the coin’s obverse.
TECHNICAL NOTES
The coin’s high relief reverse and obverse are minted on concave surfaces to ensure the optimum flow of metal is achieved by the strike of the die.
PRESENTATION
The coin is housed in a presentation case and custom-designed shipper, accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
