Celebrate 35 years of an Australian icon with the 2025 $8 Australian Kookaburra 5 oz Silver Proof High Relief Incused Coin, a stunning release from the Perth Mint. Beloved worldwide, the kookaburra—Australia’s largest kingfisher—is famed for its raucous, laughing call that echoes from the outback to suburban backyards. This coin’s reverse features a majestic kookaburra perched on a tree branch, its feathers intricately detailed in an innovative incused strike, where the design is recessed below the surface for a striking, three-dimensional effect. Radiant lines symbolizing a sunburst surround a privy mark honoring the original 1990 Kookaburra coin, while the inscription “KOOKABURRA 35th ANNIVERSARY,” the Perth Mint’s “P” mintmark, and the coin’s weight, purity, and 2025 year-date complete the design. The obverse, struck in the Perth Mint’s traditional high relief finish, features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, blending heritage with modern artistry.

With a limited mintage of just 500 coins worldwide, this 5 oz coin, struck in 99.99% pure silver, is a rare treasure for collectors and nature lovers.
