The silver Kookaburra was first issued in 1990 by the Australian Perth Mint in one troy ounce. It wasn't until a year later that variants in 2 troy ounces, 10 troy ounces and one kilogram were added. The design of the Kookaburra is changed every year, which is one of the reasons why the coin is very popular with collectors.

Design
The design of the coin consists on one side: the new 2020 design of the Kookaburra with the words "AUSTRALIAN KOOKABURRA", the respective year of issue, volume and purity "2020 1 KILO 999 SILVER". On this side a kookaburras can be found, the kookaburra (Dacelo novaeguineae) is also called laughing bird because of the call of the bird. It closely resembles a human laugh. It is native to southern and eastern Australia. The other side shows a portrait of "Elizabeth II Australia", which was subjected to minor changes over time. The portrait is framed all around with the inscription "ELIZABETH II AUSTRALIA * 30 DOLLARS *". The edge of the Kookaburra is ribbed without an inscription.

People think of silver as the poor man's gold, which is absolutely the wrong way to look at it. Gold has the most monetary character, but silver moves in times when a financial system is under pressure, at least as much as gold.
Silver is a commodity and monetary metal. Gold and silver have related to each other to some extent over a long history; This is called the gold-silver ratio. Silver has not been this cheap in 25 years compared to gold.
