The Australian two ounces silver piece (abbreviated as 2 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. This 2oz 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: With its unmistakable laughing call, the kookaburra is synonymous with Australia - from the outback to the back yard. This coin’s reverse depicts a kookaburra perched on a corrugated iron rooftop with stylised rays of the rising sun in the background. The noticeably raised motifs appear on a highly-polished concave surface. As well as the bird, the coin rim and its serrated edge are decorated in 24-carat gold - making this spectacular release a first-of-a-kind for The Perth Mint. The coin has a special obverse featuring a representation of Stuart Devlin’s design for the original 1990 proof issue. His much-loved artistry, which portrays a kookaburra sitting on a tree branch amid gum leaves, appears below a miniature version of Jody Clark’s effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. | ||||||
