Australian Kookaburra 2024 | 1oz silver | Australia
Famed for its raucous laughing call, the kookaburra is heard across Australia – from the outback to the back yard. And while it may be adept at snatching food from your barbeque or picnic table, the kookaburra enjoys a varied menu in the wild - insects, earthworms, frogs, fish, mice, or even venomous snakes! Grabbing a snake with its large bill, the kookaburra generally bludgeons its prey to death before feeding.
The coin portrays a beady-eyed kookaburra in flight over a gorge with a snake in its talons. As well as the inscription ‘KOOKABURRA’, the design includes the coin’s weight, purity, 2024 year-date, and a ‘P125’ mintmark signifying The Perth Mint’s 125th anniversary.
The coin’s obverse depicts the Dan Thorne effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, and the monetary denomination.
