The Perth Mint is the mint that struck the 2026 Australian Kookaburra in .9999 fine gold, and one of the standard of purities that the Perth mint offers for investment grade gold. It is an annual limited issue series, with a new design on the reverse for each year's issue, thus being a bullion investment and a collectible in one coin! BOLD is an Authorised Dealer of Perth Mint products ensuring that all coins sold are directly from Perth Mint and fully authenticated.
Ian Rank-Broadley's effigy of King Charles III, sculpted and adapted by Dan Thorne for use on Australian currency, is on the obverse. The 2026 Kookaburra is one of the first Perth Mint gold bullion releases to feature the effigy of King Charles III after the move from the previous King Elizabeth II coinage in 2022. The issuing authority ("AUSTRALIA"), sovereign ("CHARLES III") and denomination ($15) are also inscribed around it.
On the back features a close up of the kookaburra in flight with a serene river scene, unlike the perched poses of some past years. The wingspan of the bird takes up the whole frame and the fine details on the wingtips are visible. The reverse design changes yearly, with the 2026 design being designed by Perth Mint's in-house designers. The 'P' mint mark, introduced in 1940, has been used on all Perth Mint coins so far, and the weight (1/10 oz), the purity of .9999 and the inscription "KOOKABURRA" are all there.
A 1/10 oz gold coin is more expensive per troy ounce than a 1 oz gold coin of the same metal and mint — this is just a structural fact, and not a BOLD markup. The production cost of the coin, from dies, labour, capsule, to quality control is very similar for both 1/10 oz and 1 oz, and thus results in a cost spread across less gold. Adding slightly to the per-ounce cost, the Perth Mint also stamps its 2026 Kookaburra 1/10 oz with its annual premium for wildlife.
However, the 1/10 oz offering has a valid use – it allows .9999 gold to be purchased at a lower dollar value, provides fractional liquidity for the sale and is a common option for transferring gold to family members. For maximum gold weight per dollar, a 1 oz Kookaburra or a gold bar of the same purity will be more cost effective. The premium reflects the fact that if you want a passable Perth Mint collectible, an annual-series design and legal tender status in a coin, you have to pay a premium. We'd prefer to tell you this now than you will find out later.
In 1899 the Perth Mint was opened by the government (Western Australian Government) as the third Royal Mint branch in Australia and has continued as such ever since. It is one of very few mints worldwide to strike coins to the .9999 (four nines) gold standard — the .9999 is the standard that the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) demands for its Good Delivery specification.
BOLD is an Authorised Dealer of Perth Mint products. This is important for one practical reason: the coins that we list are not distributed through the secondary market. An original 2026 dated coin in factory new BU status, as issued by the Mint, and in the condition of the Mint with no additional handling by the dealer.
The Australian Kookaburra series is one of our most popular items for buy back, and at BOLD we only stock products that we would buy back. Each year, the design changes, so each year's coin is different; the series has been issued since 1990 and is a regular installment for bullion buyers as well as wildlife-design collectors. If you're ready to sell, BOLD's buy-back process is simple: competitive spot-based pricing, quick payout and no minimum quantity. We have a buy-back policy with Perth Mint just as we would with any coin that we are putting on the shelf.
We are an Authorised Perth Mint Dealer and we sell at approved prices, NOT grey-market prices. If you can get a lower published price of the same coin in the same condition elsewhere from an authorized dealer, we will match the price. We offer a 2-6% discount on gold prices compared to some major web retailers, and feature a live gold price comparison tool on our home page that enables you to check the price before purchasing. We don't think you should take our word for it.
BOLD has an average rating of 4.3/5 stars on Trustpilot from 872 verified reviews. Perth Mint gold coins are frequently praised by customers for their quick delivery, safe packaging, and descriptive details about products.
