The kookaburra holds a special place in Australian culture and is easily recognized as one of the nation’s best-known native birds. Its famous laughing call is strongly linked to the Australian bush and has been featured in movies, books, and classic children’s songs passed down over generations. The kookaburra also shares a long history with The Perth Mint, appearing frequently in one of Australia’s most popular silver coin series. Right now, 2026 10 oz Australian Silver Kookaburra Coins are available from BullionMax.

Australia is home to two types of kookaburras: the laughing kookaburra and the blue-winged kookaburra. The laughing kookaburra is the larger and more familiar species, commonly found along Australia’s eastern regions. The blue-winged kookaburra lives mainly in northern Australia and parts of New Guinea and is known for the blue coloring on its wings and a slightly different call. Both species share a strong build, large beak, and meat-based diet, traits that help them thrive as skilled hunters in their natural habitats.

On the obverse of the 2026 Australian Silver Kookaburra Coin is a left-facing portrait of King Charles III. Designed by Dan Thorne, this uncrowned effigy marks the first official appearance of King Charles III on Australian coinage. The clean, detailed design reflects a new chapter in Australia’s circulating and collectible coin history.

The reverse design of the 2026 10 oz Silver Kookaburra Coin features a single kookaburra shown in left-profile relief, flying above a scenic coastal setting. Kookaburras are known for a behavior called communal calling, where family groups gather at dawn and dusk to produce their well-known laughing chorus. This lively design captures both the movement and character of the iconic bird.
