Comment
This coin was also available without a privy mark. It was available in The Australian Kookaburra 1998 Proof Issue 2oz Collection.Interesting fact
The Australian Kookaburra silver coin was first introduced in 1990 and has since become one of the most popular bullion coins in the world. The 1998 edition, featuring the 3rd portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, is particularly interesting because it was the first time the coin's design was updated since its inception. The new design featured a more mature and regal portrait of the Queen, which was met with positive reception from collectors and investors. Additionally, the coin's mintage was limited to only 150,000 pieces, making it a sought-after collector's item.
