Australian Kookaburra

This stunning high relief silver coin features the Australian Kookaburra. This carnivorous bird will eat almost anything, using its strong beak to catch a wide variety of prey including lizards, insects, small birds, and snakes.

Original kookaburra design

The coin's reverse depicts a kookaburra perched on a fence post amidst an Australian landscape. The design includes the inscription AUSTRALIAN KOOKABURRA, The Perth Mint's 'P' mintmark, and the 2016 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.
