Introduced by the Perth Mint in 1990, the Silver Kookaburra Series is the longest running bullion program of the mint. Each year, the reverse image of the coin features a new depiction of the renowned kookaburra bird. The 2017 issue of the coin showcases two kookaburras perched on a wooden fence. Besides the standard 1 oz. coin, Perth Mint also issues special privy mark sets.
