Australian Kookaburra 1 oz. Silver 2004 GILDED

The 2004 Australia 1 oz Silver Gilded Kookaburra $1 Coin is a Perth Mint collector issue struck in .999 fine silver with selective gold gilding on the kookaburra design. The obverse features the Ian Rank-Broadley portrait of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, with the inscriptions “ELIZABETH II,” “AUSTRALIA,” and the legal tender denomination “1 DOLLAR.” The reverse displays two kookaburras, with one perched on a branch and another shown in flight, accented by gold gilding for added contrast against the silver proof-style fields.

This Australian Kookaburra issue contains 1 troy ounce of .999 fine silver and has a diameter of 40.6 mm with a thickness of approximately 2.98 mm. The reverse inscriptions read “THE AUSTRALIAN KOOKABURRA,” “2004,” and “1 OZ .999 SILVER.” The Kookaburra series is widely collected for its annually changing designs, and the gilded versions offer additional visual appeal for collectors of modern Perth Mint wildlife coins. Its combination of silver content, limited collector finish, and classic Australian bird imagery makes this piece a strong addition to a world silver or Perth Mint collection.
