The Kookaburra is Australia's most famous bird. A member of the kingfisher family, it generally doesn’t like to fish! Instead, it preys on invertebrates and some small vertebrates. The word Kookaburra comes from the Wiradjuri word “guuguubarra”. The word resembles the famous laughing call of the Kookaburra. Kookaburras laughter is iconic as an Australian morning wake up call. The joyous laughter alerts to a majestic sunrise and beautiful day ahead.

Beginning in 1990, and now the longest running bullion program by the Perth Mint, the Kookaburra coin program sees a new artistic design every year. The Kookaburra is Australia's most well-known native bird species, so its no surprise this coin is a top-seller every year.

DESIGN

Each coin’s reverse depicts a kookaburra perched on a branch of a tree, facing up. The weight, year-made and purity also appear in the design.

Each coin’s obverse depicts the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The monetary denomination is also shown on the obverse of each coin.

PRESENTATION

The coin is presented in a protective acrylic capsule.
