The Classics The Perth Mint continues a tradition steeped in excellence with the 2011 release of these truly "classic" coins. The "Gold Kangaroo" Featuring the animal most instantly identifiable with the Commonwealth of Australia, the 2011 Gold Kangaroo coins will be produced in limited mintages. No more than 350,000 1 oz., 100,000 ½ oz., 150,000 1/4 oz., and 200,000 1/10 oz. coins will be produced. In addition to these weights, a 1 kg. size will also be available. The "Silver Koala" This year's Silver Koala coin will be produced without mintage limit in 1/2 oz., 1 oz., 10 oz., and 1 kg. sizes. As with each year, the design of the reverse of the coin will feature Australia's lovable, tree-climbing "bear." In 2011 the koala is shown sitting on a tree branch eating leaves. The "Silver Kookaburra" One can scarce go anywhere in the Australian bush without hearing the "laugh" of a Kookaburra. As a result, this tiny kingfisher has earned its place as one of the national symbols of Australia, and as the feature of one of the Perth Mint's most desired coins. The Mint will produce no more than 500,000 1 oz. Silver Kookaburras in 2011, while a 10 oz., and 1 kg. version will be produced without limit.
