| Obverse description | Fourth portrait effigy of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara, as designed by Ian Rank-Broadley. The sovereign's name appears in the upper legend, with the issuing country, denomination, and engraver's initials IRB arranged in the field. The portrait is rendered in a restrained, classical style characteristic of the Rank-Broadley series used on Australian coinage from 1999. |

| Additional information |
The Kookaburra bullion series, running continuously since 1990, changes its reverse design annually — a deliberate strategy Perth Mint adopted to drive collector demand alongside its bullion function. The 2018 colored variant adds a selective enamel application over the standard strike, a process done at the mint itself rather than farmed out to third-party colorizers, which matters for those tracking issue authenticity.
KM#3508.1 distinguishes the colored issue from the uncolored 3508 — a split that reflects increasing catalog sophistication around mint-applied finishes.
