2024 1/10 oz Australian Gold Kookaburra Coin (BU in Capsule)

The kookaburra design for 2024 captures the bird at a dramatic moment — wings thrown wide, body low, talons gripping a snake as it launches from a weathered rocky perch. Each primary feather across the full wingspan is individually struck, and the bird’s distinctive heavy-billed head is turned slightly forward with the alert posture the species is known for. The rocky outcrop below adds grounding and texture to the composition. “KOOKABURRA” arcs in bold lettering across the upper field, with the specifications “2024 1/10oz .9999 GOLD” running along the left arc. The “P125” privy mark appears to the lower right — a commemorative detail marking the Perth Mint’s 125th anniversary, adding an additional layer of collector significance to this particular year’s issue.

The obverse carries a right-facing portrait of King Charles III, rendered in clean profile with hair and facial features finely modeled. “CHARLES III” and “AUSTRALIA” flank the portrait across the upper field, with “15 DOLLARS” along the lower arc confirming the coin’s status as Australian legal tender.

The Perth Mint, established in 1899 and owned by the Government of Western Australia, is among the world’s most respected gold refiners and coin producers. Its “P” mint mark is recognized by dealers and collectors globally, and its bullion coins are accepted in precious metals IRAs.

For buyers seeking fractional .9999 fine gold with annual design variation and the backing of a sovereign mint, the 2024 Gold Kookaburra is a compelling choice. Add it to your cart today.
