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. This 1oz silver proof high relief coin is part of the 30th Anniversary of the Australian Kookaburra coin range by the Perth Mint. The Mint says about it: The coin’s reverse depicts a kookaburra perched on a roof at dawn with stylised rays of light in the background. The obverse bears Stuart Devlin’s depiction of a kookaburra on a tree branch, as it appeared on The Perth Mint’s 1990 Australian Kookaburra Silver Proof Coin. | ||||||
