2022 Australia $8 5-oz Silver Incuse Kookaburra Proof
Australia’s Incuse Kookaburra Returns For 2022!
It’s not very often that we’re treated to incuse coin designs. Unlike regular coins with designs that rise from the surface, incuse designs are pressed into the metal so that the images rest below the surface of the coin. But the highly skilled artisans at Australia’s world-renowned Perth Mint have followed up 2021’s success of their first-ever incuse Kookaburra coin by striking a second year of this amazing incuse series—and once again, it is a remarkable sight!
New One-Year-Only Kookaburra Design
This year’s new, one-year-only design depicts a kookaburra perched on an ornamental bird bath among Agapanthus, flowering plants regularly seen in Australian gardens. Engraved around the coin’s rim are the words AUSTRALIAN KOOKABURRA and the coin’s year date, weight, and silver purity at the bottom. The coin’s obverse features artist Jody Clark’s famous effigy of Queen Elizabeth II. The incredible designs are a magnificent testament to the craftsmanship and expertise of the artisans at Australia’s prestigious Perth Mint. The recessed incuse designs create a whole new look for the Kookaburra Series now entering its 32nd year in 2022!
Gorgeous, Limited-Edition Proof Release
The incredible designs are a magnificent testament to the craftsmanship and expertise of the artisans at Australia’s prestigious Perth Mint. In addition, the coins in this offer all come in gorgeous Proof condition, meaning that they were expertly crafted by the mint from hand-selected planchets, polished dies and multiple strikes to produce beautifully frosted details and mirror-like fields. Each coin will also come beautifully housed in a classic display case with a clear lid and packaged inside an illustrated shipper along with a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
This edition to the immensely popular Silver Kookaburra series has a miniscule limited mintage of only 500 coins—a number far too small for every kookaburra collector who would love to add this beautiful release to their collection. Don’t miss out on this outstanding collectible opportunity; order yours today!
