The Perth Mint introduced the Silver Kookaburra Series in 1990, quickly making it one of the first major bullion programs to feature a native Australian species. Over the years, the series has become popular around the world for its detailed designs, reliable minting standards, and the focus on one of Australias best-known birds.

All 1995 Proof Australian Kookaburra Liberty Head Privy 1 Kilo Silver Coins offered here arrive in a protective plastic flip. The Perth Mint produced just 500 of these proof coins in 1995. The addition of the Liberty Head privy, which reflects the obverse portrait used on the 1895 Morgan Dollar, appears to recognize the 100-year anniversary of that historic U.S. coin.

Obverse

On the obverse of 1995 Proof Australian Kookaburra Liberty Head Privy Silver Coins, you will see a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. This is the third effigy used during her reign. The right-facing image shows the Queen wearing the George IV State Diadem and was designed by Raphael David Maklouf. The inscriptions here include ELIZABETH II, AUSTRALIA, and 30 DOLLARS.

Reverse

The reverse side of the 1995 Proof Kookaburra Liberty Head Privy 1 Kilo Silver Coin displays a kookaburra in right-profile as it moves across the design field. The Liberty Head privy appears in the lower-right portion beneath the bird. The kookaburra is one of the most recognizable birds in Australia. It is known both as a national symbol and for its well-known laughing call, which has often been used in movies and television to represent the sounds of nature. Inscriptions here include THE AUSTRALIAN KOOKABURRA, 1 KILO 999 SILVER, and 1995.

History

This 1995 1 Kilo Proof Silver Kookaburra includes a unique privy mark on the reverse of the coin. The Perth Mint incorporated a Liberty Head privy that recreates the classic Liberty portrait from the 1895 Morgan Dollar. That American coin was released a century before this Kookaburra issue, making the design choice a nod to that earlier piece of coinage.
