1990 Australia 1 oz Silver Kookaburra BU
In 1990, Australia introduced a captivating new silver bullion series celebrating one of its most recognizable bushland birds. This inaugural release features a kookaburra perched calmly on a tree stump, a detailed design created by Dr. Stuart Devlin. Struck in one full troy ounce of 0.999 fine silver, this coin established a beloved annual tradition for collectors who appreciate wildlife-themed numismatics. The opposite side of the coin carries the elegant portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Raphael Maklouf. Alongside the royal likeness, the obverse displays the official face value of 5 Dollars. Backed by the Australian government, this sovereign coin had a limited mintage of 300,000 pieces, making it a historic first step for a legendary series.
