Comment
The Perth Mint of Australia issued a limited edition two-ounce pure silver Kookaburra coin. Each will feature all five of the state quarter designs issued in 2001. The Honor Mark 50 State Program from Australia is the first time that US coin designs have been reproduced on foreign coins. The Program has been created with the approval and cooperation of the US Mint. This coin comes with the 5 uncirculated state quarters.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2001 Australian Kookaburra 2 Dollar silver coin is that it features a unique reverse design, showcasing a kookaburra perched on a tree branch, surrounded by leaves and berries. The design was created by renowned Australian artist, Stuart Devlin, who is known for his iconic coin designs that often feature native Australian wildlife. The coin's design is not only visually striking but also symbolic, as the kookaburra is a beloved Australian bird known for its distinctive call, which is often described as a laugh or a cackle. This coin is a sought-after collector's item, not only for its unique design but also for its high silver content and limited mintage.
