Silver Ten Ounces 1993 Australian Kookaburra, Proof, Coin from Australia - detailed information
| ||||||
The Australian ten-ounce silver piece (abbreviated as 10 oz and designated with Ag for "silver") is a bullion and commemorative coin format used mostly by the Perth Mint, which only makes collector and bullion coins and other bullion products. The Australian Silver Kookaburra series was introduced in 1990 by the Perth Mint in the silver one-ounce format. Subsequently, the range was expanded in 1991 to also include 2oz silver, 10oz silver and 1 kg silver; much later, gold and platinum formats were also introduced. The coins in the series 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, which is the largest member of the kingfisher family and the national bird of 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 proof coin differs in design from the ten-ounce bullion kookaburra for 1993. | ||||||
