Birds make good pets, though some more exotic species aren’t allowed to be kept. The meat-eating Australian kookaburra is one of those that doesn’t respond well to captivity, but worry not! You can capture this lovely bird when you order the 10 oz 2014 Kookaburra Silver coin, straight from the Perth Mint in Australia.
This coin has been minted annually since 1990, each with a different design. The 2014 coin features a sweet little bird sitting on a gum tree branch, staring out at the viewer with its sharp eyes. The words “AUSTRALIAN KOOKABURRA” are over its head, with the lower part of the rim reading “2014 10 oz 999 SILVER.”
The reverse honors Australia’s Queen Elizabeth II, her graceful portrait staring off toward the right. The rim bears the words “ELIZABETH II,” “AUSTRALIA” and “10 DOLLARS.”
Kookaburras are a popular bird, despite being native only to the island nation of Australia. Its distinctive laugh-like call has been transmitted around the world, and can even be heard in Disney theme park attractions and “jungle” themed video games.
The 10 ounce Kookaburra silver coin doesn’t make much sound, except when you stack it up. It’s a great investment that will have you laughing all the way to the bank.

Exquisite art on this year's Kook, it is truly amazing. Pictures and illustrations do not do it any justice. When you hold it in your hand and see how the light reflects off it, and how the seperate layers create different colors with only using silver, you'll just nod in agreement, like, "Yeah, I bought the right thing." Thanks Provident for prividing such great coins from the Perth Mint."
