1998 Australia 1 oz Silver Kookaburra BU
The 1998 Australian Silver Kookaburra showcases the native bird that has captured the imagination of people worldwide. Struck in one troy ounce of fine silver with a purity of 0.999, this issue is part of an ongoing series celebrated for its annually changing reverse designs. For the 1998 release, artist Louise Pinder depicted the laughing kookaburra resting quietly on a wooden fence post, bringing a touch of the rustic Australian wilderness to life. On the other side of the coin, the obverse bears the elegant portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, created by sculptor Ian Rank-Broadley. Surrounding the royal effigy are inscriptions indicating the monarch's name, the issuing country of Australia, and the face value of 1 Dollar. Produced by the Perth Mint, this brilliant uncirculated coin represents a specific moment in Australia's modern numismatic history, with a recorded mintage of 103,119 pieces.
