The renowned, beloved, and collectible Kookaburra series celebrates the year of the horse with this 1 oz, 999 pure silver coin! As an homage to the Chinese Lunar calendar, this Kookaburra 2014 rendition features the privy mark of the 7th animal to cross the line in the fabled Jade Emperor's Great Race. Those born in the year 2014, and in 12-year increments before and after are associated with the horse and are believed to have great energy, grace, enthusiasm, and independence. These exclusive coins have a limited mintage of a mere 50,000

The reverse side illustrates the series mainstay, a Kookaburra perched on a tree branch as it surveys the land. Expert texturing is applied to the depiction with a great deal of attention to detail paid to the bird's feathers. The leaves of a Eucalyptus tree are seen in the coin's field, in addition to the unique privy mark, indicative of the year of the horse.

The obverse displays Ian Rank-Broadley's contemporary effigy of her majesty Queen Elizabeth II, over a blank field. The image is encapsulated by the Queen's title, the nation of issue, and the denominational value.

ABOUT THE PERTH MINT

The Perth Mint opened in 1899 as the British Royal Mint's 3rd branch in Australia. The historical Hay Street location handled gold refining until moving to a modern facility in April 1990. Ownership of the mint was transferred to the Government of Western Australia in July of 1970. Under an agreement with the Commonwealth Treasury, they were empowered to mint and market gold, silver, and platinum as Australian legal tender to investors and collectors worldwide. Today, they are amongst the elite world mints whose pure gold, silver, and platinum items are trusted without question. Items such as the Australian Nugget, Silver Coin Series (Kangaroo, Kookaburra, Koala, and Platypus to name a few), as well as the Australian Lunar Gold and Silver Coin Series are extensively sought after by bullion investors worldwide.
