The Australian Perth Mint has crafted the 2012 Silver Kookaburra with some of the finest artisans in the world. In the handsome new design of the 2012 Silver Kookaburra edition, the elusive kookaburra can be seen on the obverse or front of the coin surrounded by the leaves of the Eucalyptus branch on which he’s so often perched in the wild. Seldom seen but often heard, the Australian kookaburra has a song that sounds very much like a human laugh. This might explain why the Kookaburra is so often featured in folk songs and poetry as a symbol of happiness. Featuring this much loved Australian bird on the coin series may in part explain why its collectability has risen steadily through the years. Also on the obverse side of the coin is the year of issuance and weight at 10 oz 999 SILVER. The reverse side of the coin bears the image of Queen Elizabeth II every year per tradition. Elizabeth II has served as the constitutional monarch of many nations including Australia and England for over 60 years, giving her the second longest running reign in England’s history. Her image was exquisitely sculpted by famed artist, Ian Rank-Broadley and is beautifully set in proof finish. Collectors may find it interesting to note that 2012 is also the year Elizabeth celebrated her diamond birthday with a Diamond Jubilee celebration held in her honor. We are proud to offer this fine and striking coin to our bullion investors, and we are confident you will enjoy this year’s new design as much as its predecessors.
