2023 Australia $8 5-oz Silver Incuse Kookaburra Proof

Australia’s 2023 Incuse Kookaburra Proofs Are Here!

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 gone and done it again with this Kookaburra release, the third year in a row 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 pair of kookaburra birds perched on the branches of a tree as Waratah flowers, the national flower of Australia, bloom with life. The bird on the left appears to be looking over its shoulder with a knowing smirk while the bird on the right has its head turned around to see what the other bird is up to. Engraved around the coin’s rim are the words AUSTRALIAN KOOKABURRA and the coin’s year date, weight, and silver purity. Turn this legal-tender $8 coin coin over, and you’ll find Jody Clark’s modified “Memorial” effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II with the dates of her reign “1952–2022.” 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 33rd year in 2023!

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 and a mintage that is completely sold out at the mint! Don’t miss out on this outstanding collectible opportunity; order yours today!
