The "March" privy mark on this Kookaburra dollar denotes its release at the World Money Fair held in Berlin — one of several annual show issues Perth Mint produced to satisfy the growing international bullion collector market at the turn of the millennium. The privy program was a deliberate commercial strategy to multiply collectible variants from a single base design without commissioning entirely new dies.
KM#489.3 distinguishes this from the standard 2000 Kookaburra release strictly by that small stamped privy, making die condition on the field surrounding it worth examining closely.
