Australian icon

Introduced in 1990, the Australian Kookaburra is an enduringly popular silver coin series portraying annual artistry of one of our most recognisable birds. Famed for its raucous laughing call, the beady-eyed kookaburra is heard across the nation – from the outback to the back yard.

Incused Kookaburra design

The coin portrays an incused impression of a kookaburra perched on an ornamental bird bath among Agapanthus, flowering plants regularly seen in Australian gardens. Also included in the design is The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark.
