Every product carries the statutory guarantee of the Government of Western Australia, struck by the Perth Mint – the world's most innovative and prolific precious metals mint.
History – The Perth Mint and 35+ Years of Annual Silver Programmes
The Perth Mint was established in 1899 to process Western Australia's gold rush output. Its transformation into the world's leading annual-design coin producer began in 1987 with the launch of the Silver Koala – the first Perth Mint annual silver programme. It has not stopped since: the Kookaburra followed in 1990, the Lunar zodiac series in 1996, the Kangaroo silver in 2016, the Emu in 2018, the Swan in 2017. Australia's silver coin range is the result of 35+ years of continuous programme innovation by a single institution.
Which Australian silver series should I start with? For investment and maximum liquidity: Kookaburra or Koala 1 oz. For collector depth: Lunar I/II closed cycles. For maximum rarity: Swan (~5,000 worldwide). Are early Kookaburra or Koala pieces from 1987–1995 significantly more valuable? Yes – original mintages were smaller and surviving examples in good condition command 30–100%+ premiums over spot silver.
