Kookaburra 1/10 Ounce Platinum 2026 is an exceptional investment coin from the renowned Australian Kookaburra series, issued by The Perth Mint. This year's edition combines the long tradition of one of the world's most famous coin series with the rare precious metal platinum, making the coin attractive to both investors and collectors.
The coin was minted from 1/10 ounce of pure platinum with a fineness of .9995 in standard bullion quality. The small diameter of 16.6 mm, combined with high detail precision, highlights the minting artistry of The Perth Mint. Platinum, as a metal with limited supply and industrial applications, gives this issue an additional investment dimension.
The Kookaburra, a member of the kingfisher family, is one of Australia's most distinctive birds. Known for its loud, "laughing" call at dawn, it is also called the "bush clock." Its presence in folklore, art, and popular culture has made it an enduring symbol of Australian nature and identity.
The coin has a face value of 15 Australian Dollars and is legal tender in Australia. The 2026 issue is limited to a maximum mintage of 15,000 copies. Wade Robinson's reverse design brings a fresh interpretation of the classic motif while retaining the recognizable character of the series.
Obverse features the portrait of His Majesty King Charles III, created by Dan Thorne, along with the coin's face value.
Reverse features a kookaburra in flight over a river, surrounded by trees and a rocky landscape. Also visible are the inscription "KOOKABURRA," The Perth Mint's "P" mint mark, the 2026 year of issue, and information on the weight and fineness of the platinum.
