The 2023 Australian Silver Kookaburra marks the 34th annual release of the Perth Mint's world-renowned Kookaburra series. Struck in 1 troy ounce of .9999 fine silver, this Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) coin features a new, one-year-only design and showcases the iconic bird that has come to symbolize Australia's natural beauty.
Design Insight:
The 2023 reverse design features a highly detailed kookaburra sitting on a blossoming waratah, with layered textures that give life to the bird's feathers and the floral background. The memorial obverse makes this year's issue particularly significant, commemorating the reign of Queen Elizabeth II.

With its annually changing design, limited mintage, and .9999 fine silver purity, the 2023 1 oz Silver Kookaburra is a must-have for series followers and silver collectors. This release also holds historic significance as one of the last to feature Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse.
