Gold Kookaburras - did they never make in 1oz?

[Silverlocks]

My google-fu seems to indicate gold kooks are only made in 1/10 and 1/4oz, with some 1/2oz proofs made on occasion.  Unfortunately the Perth Mint's web site doesn't really seem to have anything that states this explicitly.  Does anybody know, or can point to a document clarifying what sizes gold kooks were made in?

Did a quick search regarding  earlier kooks in gold :

As part of the Discover Australia series  Perthmint issue kooks in 1/25 oz, 1/10 oz and 1/2 oz in 2006,  2011, 2012 and 2013

in 2014 PM release a 1/2 Gram Mini Kookaburra

also in 2009 PM  release a 20 piece set in 1/20 oz kooks with the privy P20

Remember that the gold kookaburras (and platinum) are private montages with Perth using the kookaburra design so that’s probably why the website is vague. 
 

by law they hold some small numbers back to sell themselves and usually one other Australian dealer. The rest goes to the company that commissioned it and they sell/ distribute from there. 
 

Looks like they are starting to do the same with the koala this year too.
no 1oz gold in either design though.
