| Additional information |
The Australian Kookaburra series, running continuously since 1990, changes its reverse design annually — a deliberate policy by the Perth Mint to drive collector demand and prevent secondary-market stagnation. The 2009 issue was struck during a period of sharply elevated silver investment activity, as the global financial crisis pushed retail buyers toward hard assets and bullion-linked collectibles simultaneously.
KM#1288 denotes the one-ounce denomination within a coordinated set release, meaning distribution was controlled through authorised dealer networks rather than open counter sales.
