| Reverse description | A single kookaburra (Dacelo novaeguineae) is depicted in high relief, perched facing left upon a eucalyptus branch with naturalistic foliage rendered in fine detail occupying the left portion of the field. The bird's plumage, beak, and characteristic stocky form are rendered with exceptional sculptural precision. A small oval privy mark depicting a kookaburra, representing the month of February, appears in the lower central field. The encircling legend 'THE AUSTRALIAN KOOKABURRA 1 OZ. 999 SILVER' arcs around the upper and right border, with the date '2000' inscribed along the lower arc, all within a beaded inner border. |

| Additional information |
The monthly privy mark program was introduced by the Perth Mint in the late 1990s as a direct response to collector demand for low-mintage variants within the Kookaburra series. The February privy — typically carrying a heart motif tied to Valentine's Day — was issued in strictly limited quantities, making individual monthly issues substantially scarcer than the standard bullion release for that year. Exact mintage figures for individual privy variants were rarely published by the Mint at the time, which has complicated census tracking ever since.
