Australian Kookaburra 10 Oz Silver 2016

One of the most famous mints, in the world, also shares a lot of history with the beginnings of the precious metals market. In fact, the Perth Mint played an invaluable role during the gold rushes by trading goods for gold among the hard-working miners. Miners usually never made the same amount they found in gold so being provided basic every day life goods was worth their while. Between 1899 and now, the Perth Mint has become the oldest, working mint in Australia, being witness to fellow mints closing down. This outstanding mint has made quite the name for itself, producing popular coin collections and great quality bullion products that keep investors coming back for more. The Silver Kookaburra series is among the coin collections currently in high demand. This collection contains competitively low mintages, excellent packaging, and beautiful craftsmanship. Along with high quality, the Silver Kookaburra series comes in different sizes, accommodating any type of budget or investment goal.

The obverse, of the Australian Kookaburra 10 Oz. Silver 2016, displays Queen Elizabeth II regally seated and posed to show her lovely side profile. Signs of aging, such as fine lines and wrinkles, are enhanced on this portrait to celebrate the Queen's maturity, rather than hide it. The coin's denomination and place of mintage is also featured on the obverse, to prove its authenticity. The reverse, is stamped with the coin series' title and the date of mintage, while the coin's weight and purity are included in a lighter font. The Kookaburra design chosen for the 2016 coin displays a lone bird perched on a fence pole, wrapped with barbed wire. The barren Australian Outback is also featured for the background. The Australian Kookaburra series is conveniently packaged in mint-sealed capsules to protect the coin from being scratched or tarnished.
