1998 1 oz Australian Silver Kookaburra Coin

The Perth Mint introduced the Australian Kookaburra Series in 1990, and it has remained one of the best-known annual bullion collections ever since. Featuring a different image of Australia’s famous laughing kookaburra each year, the series gives collectors something new to enjoy while preserving the consistent quality and craftsmanship that have made these coins popular around the world. Right now, 1998 1 oz Australian Silver Kookaburra Coins are available from BGASC. **Highlights:** - **Arrives in a protective flip!** - **9th date in the Silver Kookaburra Series!** - **Declared mintage of 103,119 coins!** - Contains 1 troy oz of .999 pure silver. - Bears a face value of $1 (AUD) backed by the federal government of Australia. - Queen Elizabeth II is on the obverse. - Kookaburra on a fence post on the reverse. - Artwork by Louise Pinder. Each 1998 1 oz Australian Silver Kookaburra Coin offered here comes in a protective plastic flip. While the Perth Mint approved a maximum mintage of 300,000 coins, final demand resulted in just 103,119 pieces being struck. In addition to the 1 oz option, the 1998 design was also issued in 2 oz, 10 oz, and 1 kilo silver sizes. **Obverse** The obverse of the 1998 Australian Silver Kookaburra Coin displays the right-profile portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. This coin marks the final appearance of this specific royal portrait before the Perth Mint adopted Ian Rank-Broadley’s effigy for future releases. The Queen is shown wearing the George IV State Diadem. **Reverse** On the reverse of the 1998 1 oz Australian Silver Kookaburra Coin is Louise Pinder’s detailed depiction of a kookaburra resting on a wooden fence post. The design emphasizes the bird’s large head, compact body, and attentive stance, creating a natural scene that reflects one of Australia’s most familiar birds. **History** The 1998 Australian Silver Kookaburra continues the high production standards collectors have come to expect from the Perth Mint. As one of the earlier releases from this established series, it combines dependable .999 fine silver content with a distinctive annual design that helps separate it from every other issue in the collection. **Ordering** If you have any questions about 1 oz silver coins, BGASC is happy to help.
