Add an early and highly collectible issue to your silver holdings with the 1998 2 oz Silver Australian Kookaburra Perth Mint BU. Struck by the world-renowned Perth Mint, this government-issued silver coin contains 2 troy oz of .999 fine silver and carries a $2 Australian face value, backed by the Australian government. Offered in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, this larger-format Kookaburra showcases exceptional detail and craftsmanship that distinguish Perth Mint silver from standard bullion coins.
The Australian Kookaburra series debuted in 1990 and quickly became one of the most respected and widely collected silver coin programs in the world. Unlike many bullion series, the Kookaburra is known for its annually changing reverse designs, each featuring Australia’s iconic laughing kookaburra in a unique pose or setting. Early-year issues such as the 1998 release are especially desirable, as mintages were more limited and demand from global collectors continued to rise throughout the 1990s. The 2 oz format further enhances collectibility by offering a broader canvas for detailed artwork.
