2021 Australian Kookaburra 10oz .9999 Silver Bullion Coin

A laughing kookaburra, the largest member of the kingfisher species, is synonymous with the Australian outback. The Perth Mint is pleased to present three bullion coins featuring the kookaburra, meticulously struck from 99.99% pure silver in 1 kilo, 10oz and 1oz sizes.

Each coin in this program is issued as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965.
