Perth Mint celebrate the 2020 Australian Kookaburra Coin Series features a special 30th anniversary coin design affectionately dubbed the ‘double kook’.
The Australian Kookaburra’s enduring popularity has seen it sell close to nine million coins across its 30-year life. Not much compared to the Canadian Silver Leaf and the American Silver Eagle, but still a feat to be proud of.
30 years of Kookaburras
If you are collecting the Kookaburra coins the Perth Mint Bullion Blog has a nice overview.
In memory of the great forest fire of 2020
Kookaburra
sat in the oldest gum tree,
Merry,
merry king of the bush he used to be.
Cry Kookaburra,
cry kookaburra
How sad
your life now must be
The forests
burned and no friends to see.
