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 2000. 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 this coin is that it features a unique design that combines the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II with an image of a kookaburra, a native Australian bird known for its distinctive laughter-like call. The kookaburra is depicted perched on a tree branch, surrounded by leaves and flowers. This design was created by the Royal Australian Mint to commemorate the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games and is considered a rare and collectible coin among numismatists.
