Silver Ounce 2015 Australian Kookaburra, High Relief, Coin from Australia
CoinSilver Ounce 2015 Australian Kookaburra, High Relief

The Australian one ounce silver piece (abbreviated as 1 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.

The Australian Silver Kookaburra series - to which this coin belongs - was introduced in 1990 by the Perth Mint; subsequently, the Royal Australian Mint also started issuing silver Kookaburra bullion coins. The coins have legal tender status in Australia and are one of very few legal tender bullion silver coins to change their design every year, always featuring a kookaburra - a bird native to Australia. This and their limited annual mintage may, unlike for many other bullion coins, raise their numismatic value over the value of silver used.

The 2015 issue is a special anniversary edition marking 25 years since the introduction of the Australian Kookaburra bullion range, and re-creates Stuart Devlin's original design of the 1990 Australian Kookaburra.

This is the Proof High Relief version of the coin, which has a smaller diameter and is thicker than the bullion coin.

Obverse
Australia / Silver Ounce 2015 Australian Kookaburra, High Relief - obverse photo

The obverse of the coin shows the crowned mature head of Queen Elizabeth II facing right (her effigy known as the "Fourth Portrait"). The Queen wears the "Girls of Great Britain and Ireland" diamond tiara, a wedding gift from Queen Mary (Her Majesty's grandmother) in 1947 - which she also has on the Machin and the Gottwald portraits.

In small letters below the head, the artist's initials IRB (for Ian Rank-Broadley).

Around the effigy is the monarch's legend, the date of issue and the value: ELIZABETH II AUSTRALIA 2015 · 1 DOLLAR ·.

Around left, the inscription THE AUSTRALIAN KOOKABURRA. Around right, the precious metal content: 1OZ. 999 SILVER (one troy ounce of 99.9% silver).
