| Reverse description | A highly detailed depiction of a laughing kookaburra (Dacelo novaeguineae) perched on a eucalyptus branch occupies the central field, its beak open and talons firmly gripping the bough, with foliage rendered in fine relief on either side. The bird is portrayed in three-quarter view facing left, conveying a naturalistic and dynamic composition. The curved legend THE AUSTRALIAN KOOKABURRA arcs across the upper border, while 1 OZ. 999 SILVER follows the right inner border. The date 1993 appears in the lower field, flanked by raised dots, all within a beaded inner border consistent with the obverse. |
