The 2026 10 oz Australian Kookaburra Silver Coin continues one of The Perth Mint's longest-running and most popular bullion series. Struck from 10 troy ounces of .9999 fine silver, this Brilliant Uncirculated release features a new reverse design created exclusively for 2026, a kookaburra soaring above a winding river, surrounded by trees and rugged rock formations. Issued as Australian legal tender with a face value of A$10, the coin is backed by the Australian Government for its weight and purity. The obverse bears the official effigy of King Charles III, while the reverse includes The Perth Mint's micro-laser engraved security feature, visible only under magnification.
Each coin arrives in a protective acrylic capsule, making it suitable for both long-term storage and display.
Obverse
The obverse features Dan Thorne's official portrait of King Charles III, introduced following the King's accession to the throne.Alongside the effigy are the coin's face value and other standard inscriptions, confirming its status as Australian legal tender.
Reverse
The reverse showcases the 2026-exclusive artwork—a kookaburra captured in flight above a peaceful river landscape framed by native trees and rocky terrain.Surrounding the design are the inscriptions "KOOKABURRA," the year 2026, the coin's weight and purity, and The Perth Mint's "P" mintmark.A micro-laser engraved security mark is discreetly incorporated into the design.Visible only under magnification, it provides an additional layer of protection against counterfeiting.
When The Perth Mint introduced the Australian Kookaburra series in 1990, it broke away from the fixed designs used by most bullion programs.Instead of repeating the same reverse each year, the mint chose to create a brand-new kookaburra design for every annual release.That tradition continues today and has become the defining characteristic of the series.Collectors know that each year's artwork is exclusive to that release, giving every coin its own identity while maintaining the consistent quality and government backing associated with Perth Mint bullion.Early issues were especially sought after.From 1990 through 2010, the 1 oz Kookaburra carried a maximum mintage of 300,000 coins, with the first two years selling out completely.The series also reached an important milestone in 2015, when The Perth Mint celebrated its 25th anniversary by revisiting the original 1990 design and adding the commemorative "1990–2015" dual date. Another significant update followed in 2018, when the silver purity increased from .999 to .9999 fine silver, aligning the series with the purity standards used by many of today's leading sovereign bullion programs. Unlike the 1 oz issue, the 10 oz format is produced according to market demand. Rather than announcing a fixed mintage before release, The Perth Mint continues striking the coin throughout the year before publishing the final mintage once production ends.
Established in 1899, The Perth Mint is Australia's oldest operating mint and one of the world's leading producers of precious metals bullion. Owned by the Government of Western Australia, the mint guarantees the weight and purity of every bullion coin it issues. Beyond the Kookaburra series, The Perth Mint is also known for internationally recognized programs such as the Australian Kangaroo, Koala, and Lunar Series, each combining investment-grade precious metals with distinctive annual artwork.
