Since 2010 the australian mint is not making any 2 oz coin anymore until today, that 's very pity is my opinion because they are much nices then the 1 oz coins; does anybody know why they don't make them anymore?
The Perth Mint did plan to release the 2oz Kookaburra as part of the 2013 bullion program but they believe the 2oz coins are not popular so it wasn't included. The 2009 P20 - 2oz coin was the last Kook minted. (20,991) http://www.perthmint.com.au//docume...r_Bullion_Coin_Series_1990_-_2011_Current.pdf I find that weird because if a person looks at the Bullion mintage details you'll find that sales are reasonable. The 2014 - 2oz Kookaburra has also been approved by Treasury. For Perth to mint the 2oz, they'll need more demand both here in Australia and Overseas. imo, the 2oz kook is the perfect size coin. 2013 Details 2013 Silver Kookaburra Bullion Coins The design for the 2013 Silver Kookaburra (1kg, 10oz, 2oz and 1oz) bullion coins features a representation of two kookaburras perched on a tree branch, superimposed on flowers, and includes the inscriptions 'AUSTRALIAN KOOKABURRA', '2013' along with the weight of the coin and '999 SILVER'. http://www.comlaw.gov.au/Details/F2011L00874/Explanatory Statement/Text 2014 Details 2014 Silver Kookaburra Bullion Coins The design for the 2014 Silver Kookaburra (1kg, 10oz, 2oz and 1oz) bullion coins features a kookaburra perched on a tree branch, and includes the inscriptions 'AUSTRALIAN KOOKABURRA', '2014' along with the weight of the coin and '999 SILVER'. http://www.comlaw.gov.au/Details/F2011L00874/Explanatory Statement/Text I'd love to see Perth mint 2oz Kookaburras H
a 2001 2 oz kook was my first silver coin i ever owned. it was a gift from my grandma i played with it so much, dropped it dented it, i consider it not "damaged".. but "very well loved"
There's nothing to indicate Perth are interested in the 2oz coins. Can't find anything in the latest Currency (Perth Mint) Determination 2013 (No. 1) http://www.comlaw.gov.au/Details/F2013L00065/Explanatory Statement/Text Perth has abandoned us 2oz stackers which is a shame because their sales looked ok. 2 oz Kookaburra 1992 - 84,782 1993 - 35,329 1994 - 39,603 1995 - 45,308 1996 - 78,424 1997 - 32,896 1998 - 21,184 1999 - 20,602 2000 - 23,872 2001 - 17,050 2002 - 15,696 2003 - 16,663 2004 - 13,969 2005 - 14,082 2006 - 12,802 2007 - 13,938 2008 - 20,083 2009 - 20,991 2010 - 0 2011 - 0 2012 - 0 2013 - 0 Looks as if Perth have changed their focus to the 5oz (Five ounce) coins. 5oz coloured bullion coins. 5oz Bullion Kookaburra 5oz Bullion Koala 5oz Bullion Kangaroo http://www.comlaw.gov.au/Details/F2013L00065/Explanatory Statement/Text Edit Completed listings - ebay sales Ebay sales Sep - Nov 2012 These are silver bullion Kookaburra's not privies or proofs. 23 Nov 2012 - $87 - 2004 2oz Kookaburra $101 - 1995 2oz Kookaburra 21 October 2012 - $85 - 1994 Kookaburra 2oz 21 October 2012 - $88 - 1993 2oz Kookaburra 20 October 2012 - $108.51 - 1995 2oz Kookaburra 15 October 2012 - $153.20 - 2003 Kookaburra 2 oz 14 October 2012 - $84 - 1992 Kookaburra 2oz 14 October 2012 - $94.88 - 2007 2oz Kookaburra 07 October 2012 - $104.50 - 2009 2 oz Kookaburra 29 September 2012 - $102 - 1995 Kookaburra 2oz 29 September 2012 - $102 - 1996 Kookaburra 2oz
Maybe a 2oz Kookaburra for 2015. I hope so. 2015 Australian Kookaburra - Silver Bullion Coins The design on the 2015 Australian Kookaburra (1kg, 10oz, 2oz, 1oz) silver bullion coins, consists of a circle of dots which encloses a representation of a kookaburra perched on a tree stump and surrounded by foliage. The coins include the following inscriptions, 'THE AUSTRALIAN KOOKABURRA', '1990-2015', P25 along with the weight of the coin and '999 SILVER' http://www.comlaw.gov.au/Details/F2013L02142/Explanatory Statement/Text
I'd go along with that, I love the chunky 2oz coins, all of them lunars as well as kooks. Very low mintages as well compared to the 1 ozers.
