1996 1 oz Australian Kookaburra Silver Coin

The annually changing designs of the Australian Silver Kookaburra Coins keep investors and collectors on their toes – awaiting the release of the next coin in the series. These 1996 1 oz Kookaburra Silver Coins are no exceptions – featuring a fresh kookaburra design on their reverses. With a declared mintage of just 170,105 coins, these coins have a very limited supply indeed! Each of these coins contains 1 troy ounce of 0.999 pure silver. Moreover, they also carry a $1 (AUD) face value as the Australian government backs these coins and has assigned them legal tender status. A kookaburra bird is depicted mid-flight on the coin’s reverse. The distinctive features of the bird are noticeable as Jovan Radanovich, the artist, infused life into the design. The name of the coin, the weight and purity of the silver in the coin, and its year of issue are imprinted near the rim on this side as well. The beautiful portrayal of Queen Elizabeth II graces the obverses of these coins. Raphael Maklouf created this design, which was used on all Australian legal tender coinage. These 1996 1 oz Kookaburra Silver Coins are part of one of the early releases under the Kookaburra Silver coin – making them essential to any coin collection that wishes to feature a complete set of Kookaburra Coins.
