I recently received this 2019 Australian Kookaburra 1oz fine silver coin, from the Perth Mint Kookaburra series.
Kookaburra coin series
The Australian Laughing Kookaburra is Australia's most famous bush bird. Kookaburra's are the largest of the kingfishers. The loud laughing kookaburra call is widely used as a stock sound effect in Australian bush settings or tropical jungles, similar to the loon call being widely used to depict Canadian lake land settings. The Perth Mint Kookaburra coin series features a new design each year, 1990 was the first year of coin release.
Australian Kookaburra 2019
This 1oz fine silver 2019 Kookaburra coin features a Kookaburra on the front, perched on a stump coming up from the water, near the reed lined shore and tree, with the sunrise/set casting wavy reflections.
Along the top curve of the front side of the coin is the text "AUSTRALIAN KOOKABURRA". Along the bottom curve is the text "2019 1oz 9999 SILVER". On the left side of the coin you can see the "P" Perth Mint mark.
The back side of the coin features the head and shoulders of Queen Elizabeth II, on a plain matte background, sharp details.
Along the top curve of the backside of the coin is the text "ELIZABETH II AUSTRALIA", along the bottom curve is the text "1 DOLLAR".

A fine Australian Kookaburra kingfisher 1oz silver coin for the stack. Perth Mint has many Australia wildlife series, including the Kookaburra, Kangaroo, Koala, and Platypus.
Beautiful coin, I have various years, I also have the 2 OZ. This one is in excelllent condition.
I'll definitely pickup more of this series, this one reminds me of 1980s pop art for some reason, like I could imagine Miami vice colors :)
I will need to read the history of the Laughing Kookaburra
I've never heard of it before
Thanks for sharing...
They have an interesting call, almost like monkeys or hyenas, definitely a laughing sound :D These coins seem a great way for Australia to showcase their wildlife.
The Perth Mint is top notch excellent workmanship.
They seem to have mastered the techniques, a lot of mimicked shading on this design :)
That's a pretty one! The Kookaburras are always such nice coins. That's an awesome addition to the stack.
I like Perth Mint's nature series, keeping a lookout for the saltwater crocodile coin :)
That's one I wan to pick up.
One of a long running series from the Perth mint.
That's a lot of Kookaburras, it would be quite the feat to collect them all, I'm curious how many I'll bump into out in the wild :)
This a good series from the Perth mint, they do some great work.
A long history too, I like how they used the matte background on this and the koala one, it gives it a classy look.
oh damn this 2019 is really nice no idea how its the first time I have seen it
A pleasant surprise with this random year pick :)
A good one. Perth Mint always produces quality products.
They have some fun Australia centric series too :)
