Story

Iconic bird design

Now in its fourth decade and as popular as ever, the Australian Kookaburra is an iconic coin series featuring annual designs of one of Australia’s most recognisable birds. Famed for its raucous laughing call, the kookaburra is heard across Australia – from the outback to the back yard.

The coin’s beady-eyed kookaburra is depicted on a gum tree branch with leaves and seedpods. Struck in high relief with an immaculate finish, the design also incorporates The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark.

Presentation case
