A small privy mark depicting the Massachusetts State Quarter design appears in the lower field below the branch, commemorating the United States 50 State Quarters program. The encircling legend and inscriptions confirm the coin's denomination, silver content, and date of issue. |

| Additional information |
The Massachusetts privy mark was added to this Kookaburra dollar to commemorate the Commonwealth of Massachusetts at the height of the U.S. state quarters program, which ran from 1999 to 2008 and generated extraordinary American interest in coin collecting. Perth Mint — not the Royal Australian Mint — has historically been the primary issuer of privy-marked Kookaburra variants for international markets, making RAM-attributed pieces with U.S. state privies worth scrutinizing carefully against catalog references before purchase.
