The Australian Kookaburra silver bullion series has run continuously since 1990, with the Perth Mint changing the reverse design annually — a deliberate strategy that drives collector demand well beyond what pure silver content alone would justify. The 2009 issue belongs to Elizabeth II's fourth portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley, introduced on Australian coinage in 1999.
The "Silver Set" designation distinguishes this from standard bullion strikes; Perth Mint set coins typically received more controlled handling at the point of production and packaging.
