Kookaburra Kaa Kaa 2024 2oz Silver Antiqued Coloured Coin

A large kingfisher, the kookaburra’s unmistakeable ‘koo-koo-koo-koo-koo-kaa-kaa-kaa’ chorus is one of Australia's most recognisable bird calls. Native to eastern Australia where it has long held cultural significance for Aboriginal people, the iconic bird was introduced to the south-west corner of Western Australia in the late 1890s. Nyoongar people, the original inhabitants of this area, know it as ‘kaa kaa’. Like the eastern Aboriginal name ‘gugubarra’, their name for kookaburra mimics the bird's chortling cry.

Struck by The Perth Mint from 2oz of 99.99% pure silver, the coin is issued as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965.

The Perth Mint will release no more than 2,000 of the Kookaburra Kaa Kaa 2024 2oz Silver Antiqued Coloured Coin.
