2026 $8 Australian Kookaburra 5oz Silver Incused Coin

The Perth Mint is pleased to present the Australian Kookaburra 2026 5oz Silver Incused Coin crafted from 5oz in pure silver.

Beloved the world over, our signature coin series celebrates one of Australia's largest kingfisher, the kookaburra.

Famed for its raucous laughing call and rich brown-and-white plumage, the kookaburra is heard across Australia - from the outback to the backyard.

Native to the Australian bush, the kookaburra brings life to any landscape with its distinctive voice and bold, confident presence. Known for its keen hunting skills and strong family bonds, this remarkable bird embodies the spirit of the wild. Whether heard at sunrise or seen perched proudly on a branch, the kookaburra offers an authentic and memorable connection to Australia's natural beauty. 

The coin's reverse design features an image of the famous bush bird in flight over a river, framed by lush trees and rugged rocks. 

The reverse also includes the inscription 'KOOKABURRA', The Perth Mint's 'P' Mintmark and the coin's weight, purity and 2026 year-date.

The design elements typically pressed in raised relief have been recessed below the coin's surface in an impressively detailed incused strike.

Struck by The Perth Mint form 5oz of 99.9% pure silver to proof quality, this coin is issued as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965.

The Perth Mint will release no more than 500 of the 2026 Australia Kookaburra 5oz Silver Incused Coins in this packaging .

The coin's obverse features the Daniel Thomas effigy of His Majesty King Charles III
