2018 Australia 1 Dollar 1-oz Silver Kookaburra Colorized World Money Fair BU

A Colorized Version of a Collector Favorite

Kangaroos, wallabies, crocodiles, and other wildlife are among the top tourist attractions for most people who visit Australia, as tourists hope to catch a glimpse of these exotic and often dangerous animals. For coin collectors, though, another, less threatening animal, a bird, is at the top of the list. Since its debut in 1990, the Australian Silver Kookaburra has become a top target of coin collectors. Mintage figures are far lower than most other bullion coins, and the fact that the reverse design changes every year adds an exceptional level of scarcity to go along with the stunning beauty of the series. For those who would like a unique piece from a remarkable series, this Colorized 2018 Silver Australian Kookaburra coin, which was released for the 2018 World’s Money Fair, is the perfect piece.  

• THE LATEST IN THE KOOKABURRA SERIES – This 2018 Silver Kookaburra coin was issued specifically for the World Money Fair and features a colorized version of the same stunning design that appears on its bullion counterpart, which has been running for nearly three decades.

• FIRST EVER FOUR NINE FINE KOOKABURRA – Through 2017, each Australian Kookaburra coin was struck from 99.9% fine silver. In 2018, the Perth Mint increased the purity to 99.99% fine silver.

• AUSTRALIA LEGAL TENDER -- Each 2018 Silver Australian Kookaburra coin is $1 legal tender in Australia, a fact that is reflected along the rim under Ian Rank-Broadley’s portrait of Queen Elizabeth II.

• OUTSTANDING EXTRAS – Your coin will arrive in a themed shipper that has a colorized kookaburra just like the one on the coin. Within the shipper are a certificate of authenticity and a beautiful Perth Mint presentation box that is perfect for showing off your new favorite piece.

• A LIMITED MINTAGE – Just 1,500 2018 Colorized Silver Australian Kookaburra coins were minted.

Collectors of modern coins tend to have very different tastes, with a variety of bullion serving the needs of those who stack for weight and special series and issues attracting collectors with very different interests. Few releases have any substantial cross-appeal between those two very different communities, but this 2018 Colorized Silver Australian Kookaburra coin has precisely that. In part because of its relatively low mintage and in part because of its beauty, the Kookaburra is an annual favorite among collectors of all stripes, and even those who collect for weight will find it hard to resist splurging on this beautiful piece. With only 1,500 pieces minted, though, most collectors will miss out on this stunning piece. Order your one ounce Silver 2018 Colorized Australian Kookaburra coin today before the coin, like the World’s Money Fair for which it was issued, is history.
