Australian kookaburra

The Australian kookaburra high relief is a prestigious and limited coin. The coin featured delightful original artistry and was struck by The Perth Mint from 99.9% pure silver in proof quality.

Kookaburras are best known for their unmistakable call, which sounds uncannily like loud, echoing human laughter.

High relief design

The coin’s reverse depicts two young kookaburras sitting on a tree branch against a background of bush flowers. The design includes the inscription AUSTRALIAN KOOKABURRA, The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark and the 2013 year-date.

The coin’s high relief reverse and obverse are minted on concave surfaces to ensure the optimum flow of metal is achieved by the strike of the die.
