The Kookaburra, Koala, and Kangaroo Silver Bullion Coins

The Australian silver bullion focuses on the Kookaburra, Koala, and Kangaroo. The Kookaburra has been a major product of the Perth Mint since 1990. This Australian bird comes is many sizes, although the 1 ounce coin is the most popular. Back issues can be found on eBay, and with some effort one can hope to find the entire set. The Koala is a more recent addition of the Perth Mint. The silver Koala can also be found in a multitude of sizes, and for a premium one can even get Koala coins mounted on mint cards. The Kangaroo as a bullion coin comes from the Royal Australian Mint, and can also be found on mint cards. All of these coins change annually, and this gives them a desirability factor that the Canadian Maple Leaf, the American Silver Eagle, and the Austrian Philharmonic, among others, are lacking.
