From its introduction in 1990, the worldwide popularity of the Australian Kookaburra bullion offering has been remarkable. Anticipation builds as each new release date approaches, and annual pre-sale volumes also continue to soar. This 2022 1/10 oz Australia Platinum Kookaburra BU will certainly be a fine addition to your collection!
The Perth Mint continues their annual unveiling of a new Kookaburra design, and for 2022, the scene is remarkably attractive!
As a legal tender offering of Australia, the obverse displays the 6th generation effigy of Queen Elizabeth II to be displayed on Australian coins. The portrait is based on that designed by Jody Clark of the Royal Mint for 2016. It is distinctively different, however, in that it displays the Queen's shoulders and full neckline. This is a very lovely and graceful pose. The band at the rim includes the inscriptions, "ELIZABETH II AUSTRALIA" at the top, and "15 DOLLARS" at the bottom.
With a content (and slightly mischievous!) smile, a kookaurra is perched on an ornamental bird bath, relaxing after a nice sip of cool water. A common site in Australian gardens, the flowering plant Agapanthus is seen in the background. Overall, the scene displayed is remarkably pleasing. Inscriptions include, "AUSTRALIAN KOOKABURRA" at the top rim, and "2022 1/10 oz 9995 Pl." The Perth P mintmark is within the lower right portion of the rimband.
Considering the attention to detail, pleasing design, and overall fine presentation, this 2022 Platinum Kookaburra edition will very likely become one of your favorites! See our great selection of size offerings to enhance your growing collection.
