2002 1 oz Australia Perth Mint Kookaburra .999 Silver Coin

The 2002 1 oz Australia Perth Mint Kookaburra .999 Silver Coin is a beautifully preserved collectible from one of the world’s most beloved and longest-running bullion programs. Struck in 1 troy ounce of .999 fine silver and featuring an annually changing reverse design, this 2002 release continues the celebrated artistic tradition of the Australian Kookaburra series.

The Kookaburra program—known globally for its iconic depictions of Australia’s most famous native bird—has earned a reputation for combining exceptional silver purity with fine engraving and limited mintages. With a declared mintage of 91,604, the 2002 Kookaburra has become a desirable date for collectors building complete sets or seeking early-series Perth Mint silver coins.

The Perth Mint: A Tradition of Excellence

Founded in 1899, the Perth Mint is one of the world’s oldest and most respected operating mints. Known for its advanced refining techniques, meticulous quality control, and artistic bullion releases, the Perth Mint is responsible for some of the most recognized programs in modern numismatics.

The Australian Kookaburra Series

Launched in 1990, the Australian Kookaburra Silver Series introduced collectors to a new era of bullion coins characterized by:

• Annually changing reverse designs
• High silver purity (now .9999 for modern issues)
• Low mintages compared to other global bullion programs
• Designs inspired by Australia’s unique wildlife

The kookaburra—famous for its loud, laughter-like call—has become a symbol of the Australian bush. Each year, the series captures this iconic bird in a fresh, artistic scene, contributing to its status as one of the most widely collected silver programs in the world.

The 2002 design remains a standout from the early 2000s era, balancing classic engraving with an elegant, nature-themed presentation.
