| Additional information |
The Australian Kookaburra silver bullion series has run continuously since 1990, making it one of the longest-uninterrupted annual bullion programs from any mint. Perth's commitment to changing the reverse design every year was a deliberate commercial strategy to drive collector demand alongside pure bullion buyers — a model that proved influential on how sovereign mints structured bullion programs through the 1990s and 2000s.
Two KM numbers for a single year typically indicate a privy mark variant, a common practice Perth used to satisfy co-branding agreements with foreign distributors, particularly in Germany and China.
