The Perth Mint 2012 Australian Kookaburra 1oz Silver Coin from The Perth Mint celebrates Australia’s iconic Kookaburra, the “laughing” kingfisher that has charmed the nation for generations. Its name comes from the Wiradjuri word guuguubarra, echoing the bird’s famous call that heralds a bright Australian morning.

Part of the longest-running bullion program in Australia, initiated in 1990, the Kookaburra coin features a new reverse design every year. The 2012 edition depicts a kookaburra perched gracefully on a tree branch, accompanied by inscriptions for AUSTRALIAN KOOKABURRA, the year of issue, silver purity, and weight.

The obverse bears the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, alongside the coin’s denomination of $1, reflecting its status as Australian legal tender backed by government guarantee. Struck in 1oz of 999 fine silver, each coin comes in a protective acrylic capsule, making it a perfect addition for collectors and silver investors alike.
