| Additional information |
The December privy mark variant belongs to a monthly release strategy Perth Mint employed across the Kookaburra series around the turn of the millennium, issuing distinct privy-marked pieces each month to drive collector demand for complete annual sets. It worked — secondary market premiums on individual monthly issues frequently exceeded the cost of assembling the full twelve-piece run at issue price.
