2020 Australia $1 1-oz Silver Kookaburra High Relief NGC PF70UC First Releases w/Black Core

Australia’s 2020 Silver Kookaburra Celebrates 30 Years!

With its high silver content, razor-sharp strikes and delightful one-year-only designs, Australia’s Silver Kookaburra coin is an incredibly popular annual series. Little did the officials at the Peth Mint know that when they released their first coin in 1990 that the little bird from “Down Under” would become a global phenomenon. And in 2020, the Kookaburra returned with a special 30th Anniversary design.

One of the first Kookaburras to take flight in 2020 were these high relief silver proof coins struck in a full ounce of 99.99% pure silver. These $1 legal-tender coins feature a one-year-only design that depicts a laughing Kookaburra sitting atop a roof greeting the sun with its distinctive cackle — a sound that has the earned it the nickname “bushman’s clock” because of its early dawn and dusk cackling chorus. A ring around the design is engraved with the words AUSTRALIAN KOOKABURRA at the top and 30TH ANNIVERSARY at the bottom.

The coin’s obverse features artist Stuart Devlin’s design of a Kookaburra perched on a tree stump as it appeared on the first 1990 Kookaburra Proof release. Jody Clark’s effigy of Queen Elizabeth II has been reduced and appears at the top of the coin within its own ring, the 1990 and 2020 dates located on either side of the portrait. The coin’s remarkable high relief detail on its reverse and obverse sides was minted on concave surfaces to ensure the optimum flow of metal was achieved when the die was struck.

The incredible designs are a magnificent testament to the craftsmanship and expertise of the artisans at Australia’s prestigious Perth Mint. In addition, the coins in this offer will all come graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) as being in flawless Proof-70 Ultra Cameo (PF70UC) condition, a distinction that means these perfectly-graded proofs will have ZERO imperfections — showing all features and fields exactly as the engraver and mint intended.
