The kookaburra holds a special place in Australian culture and is widely recognized as one of the country’s most familiar native birds. Known for its loud, laughing call, the kookaburra is closely associated with the Australian outback and has appeared in films, books, and traditional children’s songs shared across generations.

Kookaburras are highly adaptable birds that can be found across many parts of Australia. Their natural habitats include eucalyptus forests, open woodlands, and areas near waterways, but they are equally comfortable in suburban parks and residential neighborhoods. These birds favor locations with mature trees that offer nesting hollows and elevated perches. From these vantage points, kookaburras watch for prey below. Over time, they have adjusted well to human development and are now a common sight perched on fences, rooftops, and power lines in populated areas.

All 2026 1 Kilo Australian Silver Kookaburra Coins offered here arrive in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. As the largest release in the Silver Kookaburra series, the 1 kilo coin stands out for both its size and silver content. The 2026 issue carries an unlimited mintage, meaning The Perth Mint will continue striking these coins throughout the year to meet collector and investor demand.

The obverse side of the 2026 Australian Silver Kookaburra features a detailed portrait of King Charles III. This effigy, designed by Dan Thorne, presents a left-facing image of the king without a crown. It represents the first official Australian coin portrait of His Majesty and signals a new chapter in the nation’s coinage history.

On the reverse of the 2026 1 Kilo Silver Kookaburra Coin, a single kookaburra is shown in left-profile relief soaring above a coastal landscape. The design reflects the bird’s connection to Australia’s natural environment. Kookaburras are also known for their communal calling behavior, which is most often heard at sunrise and sunset when groups gather and produce their distinctive, laughter-like calls.
