Iconic Australian animal

More than 30 years old and as popular as ever, the Australian Kookaburra is a much-loved coin series featuring one of our most recognisable birds. Famed for its raucous laughing call, the kookaburra is heard across Australia – from the outback to the back yard.

Gilded kookaburra design

Struck in high relief on the coin’s concave surface, the design depicts a kookaburra perched on the branch of an Australian native gum tree. Meticulously applied to the iconic bird and the coin’s edge, 24-carat gilding contributes further to the sumptuous look of this stunning proof quality release. Also included on the reverse is The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark.
