The 2017 silver kookaburra was the 28th coin issued in the popular Australian Silver Kookaburra Series and features a mother and baby kookaburra perched on a weathered wooden fence. The Australian Kookaburra is one of only a few world silver bullion coins to change its design yearly. This design change, coupled with a very limited mintage, has made the Kookaburra one of the most popular silver bullion coins of all time.
Each coin is gem brilliant uncirculated with a gorgeous proof-like finish and is 40.6 mm in diameter. Each coin contains one ounce 0.999 pure silver, with a $1.00AUS face value per coin -- making it a "legal tender" coin in Australia. Obviously, the face value is largely symbolic since the intrinsic silver value is much greater than the face value. Each coin comes in its original Perth Mint protective plastic capsule.
