Where it came from
The 1995 Australian 10 Dollar silver coin featuring the kookaburra was issued by the Perth Mint as part of its ongoing commitment to celebrating Australia's unique wildlife. This specific high-relief strike was designed to showcase the intricate detail of the bird, which has been the subject of the mint's flagship bullion series since 1990. By utilizing a high-relief technique, the mint aimed to provide a greater sense of depth and tactile engagement compared to standard circulation coinage.
The obverse of the coin features the third effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Raphael Maklouf, which was the standard portrait used on Australian currency throughout the late 1980s and 1990s. The design was intended to offer a dignified and formal representation of the monarch, consistent with Commonwealth coinage traditions. Upon its release, the coin was well received by collectors for its polished finish and the technical accomplishment of the high-relief strike, cementing its place as a significant piece in Australian numismatic history.
