Australia. 1 Onza 2016 (No reserve price)

This precious coin evokes the iconic Australian Kookaburra series, issued annually by the prestigious Perth Mint since 1990. The series is globally recognized among collectors because its main design changes every year, giving each edition its own unique and exclusive identity.

It features a detailed design by artist Natasha Muhl, showing a kookaburra (a bird native to Australia known for its laugh-like call) perched on a wooden post wrapped in barbed wire. The background recreates an Australian rural landscape with a solitary tree, all framed by an elegant inscription with the series name and the year of issue.

On the obverse it bears the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, a work by the renowned engraver Ian Rank-Broadley. The portrait stands out for its realism and detail, surrounded by the monarch's name, the issuing country and the face value.

The coin is kept in its protective capsule, ensuring its optimal state of preservation and protecting its fine reliefs and the contrast of its finishes.
