Limited Kookaburra 'privy Mark' Coin Celebrates The Year Of The Rooster

Perth Mint - The Perth Mint has unveiled a new 'privy mark' release for those who collect and invest in Australian silver bullion coins.

The 2017 Australian Kookaburra 1oz Silver Bullion Coin with Rooster Privy Mark is a limited mintage release featuring two native kookaburras perched on a backyard fence.

Traditionally, a privy mark is a small symbol in the coin design used to identify the mint of origin. The Perth Mint pioneered the modern revival of this ancient practice on Kookaburra coins during the 1990s.



The new coin features a rooster privy mark above the right-hand bird in recognition of the Lunar Year of the Rooster, commencing at Chinese New Year on 28 January 2017.

Struck from 1oz of 99.9% pure silver, the distinctive coin has a limited worldwide mintage of 50,000 - with just 5,000 available from authorized outlets in Australia. An attractive option for silver coin buyers, it's issued as part of the official Australian Gold, Silver and Platinum Bullion Coin Program, which is renowned for an unrivaled combination of quality, design and choice.
