2026 WMF Australian Kookaburra Silver Coin, 1 oz

This edition of the popular Australian coin is limited to only 2,500 copies. 

The Australian Silver Kookaburra is undoubtedly one of the most recognizable and valued collector and bullion coins from the renowned Perth Mint. Issued continuously since 1990, the series has won the recognition of investors around the world thanks to its high silver content, exquisite designs, and the annually changing image of the titular bird. The characteristic laugh of the kookaburra has become a symbol of Australia, and the coin itself – a showcase of local minting art. It is therefore not surprising that this coin has been chosen for years to prepare a special commemorative edition dedicated to one of the most important events in the numismatic industry – the World Money Fair in Berlin. The World Money Fair is a prestigious international meeting of collectors, dealers, and representatives of mints from around the world, organized annually in the German capital. During the fair, new coin issues, limited series, and the latest technological solutions used in minting are presented. For numismatics enthusiasts, this is a unique opportunity to exchange experiences, expand their collections, and interact directly with market creators. The special editions of the Kookaburra prepared for this occasion are extremely popular, and their mintages usually sell out quickly, gaining the status of sought-after rarities.

The reverse of the coin catches the eye with a colorful image of a kookaburra sitting on a branch, depicted with attention to the smallest details of its plumage. Next to the bird's silhouette is a privy mark referring to Berlin – the iconic figures of Ampelmann, the red and green men known from German traffic lights. This motif was created in the 1960s in former East Berlin, and after German reunification, it became a nostalgic and widely recognizable symbol of the city, eagerly used in culture and applied art. The combination of an Australian nature motif with a Berlin accent gives the coin a unique, collectible character. The obverse is traditionally decorated with the official portrait of King Charles III, made in accordance with the current design used on Commonwealth coins. The edge features information about the denomination, the country of issue, and the year of minting, which are an integral part of every investment issue. The whole combines the highest quality of workmanship, artistic design, and the symbolism of two distant cultures, creating a value that can successfully become a decoration of both a new and an advanced collection.
