The 1 kilo Silver Kookaburra 2011 coin is named after the largest kingfisher in the world. The silver grade of the Kookaburra is 999/1000 with a face value of $30 AUD. As a result, the coin has the status of legal tender. All Kookaburra coins come in a hard plastic capsule by default.
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.
The design of the coin consists on one side: the new 2011 design of the Kookaburra with the words "AUSTRALIAN KOOKABURRA", the respective year of issue, volume and purity "2011 1 1 Kilo SILVER". 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*". The edge of the Kookaburra is ribbed without an inscription.
