    I bet this will be stunning. The kilo proofs are a bit out of my price range.

    I know they stopped the 1oz and 2oz proof kooks in 2005? But what years did they mint the kilo proofs? Or have they just started?

    @SilverPete what is your photo showing? Magnified kookaburra to show some sort of spotting?

    They go at least as far back as 1994 :)

    Haha sorry, couldn't help myself.

    I really like the 2015 design. Anyone know what the retail is on this?

    I believe they have made them from the start in 1990.

    Thanks! Great prices. If I had capital now I would buy.

    So did they produce bullion kooks for all years as well? Or the early years were only proof in the kilo version?

    I think I might eventually collect a full date run of kilo BUs, maybe some proofs too if I can get a few and not too much of a premium compared to BU's :D But first I need to collect the 1oz / 2oz proof kooks, they are more affordable :)

    Mintage is 500 of the Kilo Proof Kookaburra - very small allocations for dealers

    Desing same as 1 oz Proof Kookaburra

    Premium is okay IMO

    I only know the premium for dealers - don't know what the premium for retail will be

    But when I compare to Canadian Kilo Proof coins it will be reasonable priced

    Pricing is as per other Perth Mint kilo silver proofs, A$1750, but as MDAMDA mentioned, there are very small allocations in Australia, most likely a big European or USA based dealer has taken the bulk of the mintage.

    Is 500 the official mintage?

    This may as well be my first 1 kilo coin

    Good luck with that. Hopefully no spots will show up in the mirror surface. I'm placing my bets accordingly, and not buying.
