2025 AUS 1 oz Silver Kookaburra Gold-Plated ANDA Special-In Card

---

The Australian Kookaburra series has captivated coin enthusiasts since its inception in 1990. To mark three and a half decades of this beloved coin line, a special 2025 release showcases the famous bush bird in a brilliant new light. This particular one-ounce silver piece is elevated by selective gold plating, creating a striking contrast that emphasizes the intricate details of the design. On the reverse side, the kookaburra is shown resting on a branch, accompanied by the inscription "KOOKABURRA 35th Anniversary" to honor the milestone. This side also incorporates a small privy mark depicting the very first kookaburra design from 1990, alongside the traditional "P" mint mark representing the Perth Mint. The coin's weight, 2025 year-date, and 0.9999 silver purity are also clearly displayed on this face. The obverse features the modern effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, designed by Dan Thorne. Surrounding the portrait are the inscriptions "CHARLES III", "AUSTRALIA", and the "1 DOLLAR" face value. With a highly restricted mintage of just 3,000 pieces, this gold-plated edition represents a beautiful intersection of modern minting artistry and numismatic history.
