Included issues appear as part of the Perth’s annual silver coin programs depicting the kookaburra, kangaroo and koala. Coins of the collection are composed of one ounce of 99.9% pure silver and feature their designs in high relief.

The kookaburra silver coin showcases the bird perched on the branch of a eucalyptus tree. For the kangaroo silver coin, the marsupial is shown standing on its hind legs with a traditional rural scene depicted behind. Finally, the koala silver coin offers a close-up portrait of a koala along with a spray of eucalyptus leaves.

All three bear 2014 1 OZ 999 SILVER below the image with AUSTRALIAN KOOKABURRA, AUSTRALIAN KANGAROO or AUSTRALIAN KOALA inscribed above.

Coins are struck as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act of 1965. As such, obverses have a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II with inscriptions of the inscription of 1 DOLLAR, ELIZABETH II and AUSTRALIA.
