The Australian Silver Kookaburra coin is one of the Perth Mint’s most popular silver coins. The coin was first minted in 1990 and has been released annually ever since.
When it was first produced in 1990, the Australian Silver Kookaburra coin had a $5 face value. In 1992 the face value changed to $1, and it has remained at $1 since then. The coins are legal tender in Australia.
The coin’s reverse features a new design of the kookaburra, a native Australian bird, each year – making it a popular choice among collectors. The kookaburra is a member of the kingfisher species that’s easily recognized by its distinctive call, which sounds like laughter. The kookaburra has a stocky build with a round head and large bill, and its plumage is mostly brown with flecks of white. Although they are not currently considered to be at risk of extinction, kookaburras are protected under Australian law. These fascinating birds are sure to bring a smile to any nature lover or coin collector’s face.
The coin’s obverse side features the right-facing profile of Queen Elizabeth II. Raphael Makloufs is responsible for the original royal portrait design used from 1990 to 1997, while sculptor Ian Rank-Broadley designed the Queen’s portrait used on Australian Silver Kookaburra coins between 1998 and 2018. The latest design by Jody Clark was created for the 2019 coin release.
The coin is struck from .999 fine silver and contains 1 Troy oz of pure silver. The Perth Mint also produces a gold version of the coin.
The Australian Silver Kookaburra coin is one of the most popular silver coins in the world and is highly sought after by collectors and investors.
My first order of business was to find a dealer that I could trust. After considerable research, Certified Gold Exchange was at the top of my list. When I contacted CGE, I was introduced to Pat Collins. From our first discussion, Pat clearly understood the situation and developed a plan.
Long story short, Pat earned my trust with his friendly demeanor, patience, and metals experience. I'll be calling CGE and Pat for my next transaction. Many thanks Pat!
From the beginning of contacting Patrick Collins the process was efficient and professional. Pat provided regular communication and helped me at every step. The length of time from start to finish was much quicker than I was expecting thanks to CGE.
I want to thank Pat and his team at Certified Gold Exchange for a smooth and efficient transaction.
being new to selling metals, Patrick walked me step by step in the process through distributions with my IRA. Whenever I contacted him with questions or concerns, he replied within an hour or minutes to resolve my percieved issues. What a comfort Patrick has been in this (at times) somewhat stressful process.
Thank you Patrick!
It was my first time selling precious metals and they made the process as seamless as possible, despite multiple hiccups caused by my chosen custodian failing miserably. I will choose this team for every precious metals purchase or sale in my future.
I decided to invest $60k and in just three months it's over $120k! Not only that, the team at Certified Gold Exchange has excellent customer service.
I highly recommend them.
When I spoke with coin dealer David White, he was able to give me a quote in 3.5 hours. He also explained the importance of shipping my coins via registered mail with the Post Office. David said that the Post Office requires a registered box to be sealed with brown paper tape to prevent tampering. David emailed me links to sites that showed the right tape to use and how to seal the box. He called several UPS stores in my neighborhood to try to find the tape for me. In the end, I bought the tape from the Post Office. David explained that while Fedex and UPS would ship the coins, since they are not allowed to ship gold or silver, I would have no recourse if my coins were lost. David even gave me his home number so I could reach him after hours if necessary.
My experience with Certified Gold Exchange, Inc. stands in stark contrast with how two other coin brokers responded. The firm from which I had bought most of my silver coins never called me back. On November 13 when I called the broker from whom I had bought most of my gold coins, I couldn't get through on the phone. So, I emailed them and it took 5 days for them to respond! The broker didn't give me a quote until December 2 -- and then only for some of the coins! He said he would tell me what they would pay for the other coins after I shipped them!
In addition, that broker explained that one of their customers had lost all their coins valued at $22,000 because the box was tampered with and they had failed to insure them for the full amount. However, I knew by then that if the firm had told the customer to ship the coins via registered mail as Certified Gold Exchange, Inc. does, the box could not have been tampered with.
So, Certified Gold Exchange, Inc. is the only gold and silver dealer I recommend. The level of service is truly remarkable.
Your interest in helping me on such short notice shows how much you care for your clients. I hope 🤞 to have you as one of my financial team in the future.
