10 oz Kookaburra Silver Coin | 2026
The 10 oz Kookaburra 2026 is a large-format silver bullion coin produced by the renowned Perth Mint. Struck from 999.9 fine silver, it contains 10 troy ounces of pure silver (311.035 g), making it one of the most silver-rich single coins available for investment. At GoldInvest24, the coin is supplied in a protective capsule as standard, ensuring safe storage and preservation of mint condition.
The 10 troy oz format is designed primarily for investors who want to accumulate physical silver efficiently. With a larger volume, the premium per ounce is lower than for standard 1 oz coins, making this an economically attractive option. The Kookaburra series has been issued continuously by the Perth Mint since 1990 and is among the most established silver bullion series in the world. The 2026 edition features a new, unique reverse design as part of the annual design rotation that defines this series.
Why choose the 10 oz Kookaburra 2026?
The 10 oz Kookaburra 2026 silver coin combines substantial silver content with the prestige of a globally recognised premium series. Key reasons investors choose this coin:
- High silver content - 10 troy oz (311.035 g) of 999.9 fine silver in a single coin.
- Economy of scale - lower premium per ounce compared to smaller formats, reducing the cost of building a silver position.
- 999.9 fineness - investment-grade purity standard.
- Protective capsule - standard packaging that preserves the coin's surface and mint condition.
- Perth Mint prestige - Australian government mint with over 125 years of experience, guaranteeing weight and purity.

The 10 troy oz format - silver for accumulating investors
The 10 oz Kookaburra 2026 occupies an important position in the investment silver market: it offers significantly more silver than a classic 1 oz coin while remaining far more accessible than a 1 kg coin. For investors systematically building a physical silver position, the 10 troy oz format means fewer transactions, lower per-unit costs, and convenient storage of a substantial silver holding in a single capsule.
The 10 oz format sits at the optimal midpoint between the 1 oz Kookaburra (product no. 1418) and the 1 kg Kookaburra (product no. 1413), offering a strong balance between accessibility and cost efficiency for those accumulating silver.

Obverse and reverse of the Kookaburra 2026
Obverse
The obverse of the 10 oz Kookaburra 2026 features the official portrait of the British monarch - for the 2026 issue, this is King Charles III. Alongside the portrait, the coin displays the face value in Australian dollars, the country of origin (Australia), and the year of issue. The presence of the official portrait and face value confirms the coin's legal tender status in Australia and authenticates the Perth Mint emission.
Reverse
The reverse depicts the kookaburra - Australia's iconic laughing kingfisher (Dacelo novaeguineae). The 2026 design features an exceptionally detailed relief portrait of the bird set against Australian natural elements, combining naturalistic precision with artistic quality. The deep, expressive relief makes this coin appealing both as a bullion investment and as a collectible.
A defining feature of the Kookaburra series is that the Perth Mint creates an entirely new reverse design for every year of issue - no two years are the same. For collectors, this means each edition holds unique numismatic value beyond its silver content; for investors, it adds a recognisable premium that distinguishes the series from generic bullion coins.
History of the Kookaburra series - since 1990
The Perth Mint Kookaburra series has been issued without interruption since 1990, making it one of the oldest and most established silver bullion series in the world. Over more than three decades, Kookaburra coins have earned the trust of investors and collectors across all continents.
The Perth Mint, founded in 1899, is one of the world's most respected government mints. Australian coins are internationally renowned for their precision, guaranteed silver purity, and the backing of the Government of Western Australia. The Kookaburra series is available in multiple weight formats - 1 oz, 10 oz, and 1 kg - allowing every investor to select the format best suited to their strategy and budget.
Physical investment silver - why it matters
Physical silver has long been a core component of diversified investment portfolios. Perth Mint coins command strong trust internationally due to the government guarantee and broad market recognition.
Silver coins are subject to standard VAT in most European countries, which should be factored into purchase calculations. To assess the best entry point, it is worth monitoring the latest gold and silver price charts on a regular basis.
