King Charles III Obverse Design

The obverse of the 2026 1 oz Silver Australian Kookaburra coin features the official portrait of His Majesty King Charles III, marking the modern era of Australian coinage.

Created by artist Dan Thorne, the effigy depicts King Charles III in left-profile relief without a crown, consistent with long-standing Commonwealth coinage traditions for male monarchs.

Inscriptions surrounding the portrait include:

• “CHARLES III”
• “AUSTRALIA”
• “1 DOLLAR” (face value)
• “2026” (year of issue)

This portrait represents the first-generation effigy of King Charles III used on Australian coinage.

Australian Kookaburra Reverse Design

The reverse of the 2026 1 oz Silver Australian Kookaburra coin features a single kookaburra soaring above a lush coastal region of Australia, capturing the bird in graceful flight as it glides across its natural habitat.

Designed by Wade Robinson, the artwork highlights the dynamic movement of the bird with detailed feather engravings and a sweeping landscape that reflects the diverse ecosystems of Australia’s coastline. The scene evokes the environment where kookaburras are commonly heard calling at dawn and dusk, when family groups perform their famous communal “laughter” chorus across the bush.

The reverse design also includes:

• “KOOKABURRA” inscription
• “2026” year of issue
• Weight and purity inscription “1 oz 9999 SILVER”
• The Perth Mint “P” mintmark

Together, these elements showcase the Perth Mint’s artistic craftsmanship while reinforcing the coin’s authenticity and precious metal content.
