2008 1 oz Australian Kookaburra Silver Coin

With a mintage limited to 300,000, the 1 oz Australian Kookaburra Silver Coins have always been a favorite among collectors and investors. These coins are yet another addition to a string of successful coin releases under this program started by the Perth Mint in 1990. Perth Mint is the official bullion mint of Australia. Although it started out as a branch of the Royal Mint in London, it became a statutory authority of the Government of Western Australia in 1970. Mobilizing the silver bullion stock, while displaying Australia’s rich natural heritage, was the primary objective of the launch of the Kookaburra Silver Coin program in 1990. Since the coins feature annually changing designs, investors and collectors anxiously await each release to see and own the next one. Each of these coins contains 1 troy ounce of 0.999 pure silver. Moreover, they carry $1 (AUD) face values backed by the Australian Government. The reverses of these silver coins depict a kookaburra bird intently staring at a spider web. In fact, the detailed design makes the scene look almost lifelike. These 2008 1 oz Australian Kookaburra Silver Coins are excellent products for collectors who are missing critical releases from their Kookaburra Coin collections.
