Since its introduction in 1990, the Perth Mint’s Australian Kookaburra Silver Coin Series has become one of the most respected annual bullion issues in the world. The 2018 Australia 10 oz Silver Kookaburra BU continues that legacy, capturing both the artistry and craftsmanship that have defined this iconic collection.
