Silver Five Ounces 2025 Australian Kookaburra, Coin from Australia - detailed information

The Australian five ounces silver piece (abbreviated as 5 oz and designated with Ag for "silver") is a bullion and commemorative coin format. Uniquely, in Australia there are two mints authorised to strike legal tender: the Royal Australian Mint (which also makes the country's circulating coinage) and the Perth Mint which only makes collector and bullion coins, as well as other bullion products.

Both mints endeavour to create coins with attractive designs, and to introduce new designs and themes often, in order to raise the numismatic value of the coins over the value of previous metal used.

The mint says about this coin:
Traditionally, motifs on a coin have raised relief. However, where the design is described as incused, it is pressed into the surface of the blank. This popular design trend makes its appearance on the prestigious Australian Kookaburra 5oz silver coin in 2025.

Renowned for its iconic 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 barbecue or picnic table, the kookaburra enjoys a varied menu in the wild - insects, earthworms, frogs, fish, mice, or even venomous snakes!
