| Reverse description | A highly detailed depiction of a laughing kookaburra (Dacelo novaeguineae) perched on a eucalyptus branch occupies the central field, shown in three-quarter view facing left with beak open, its distinctive plumage rendered with exceptional engraving detail. A large eucalyptus branch with jagged bark rises prominently to the right of the bird, while sprigs of eucalyptus foliage appear in the lower left field. The mintmark 'P20' is inscribed in small letters below the branch in the lower central field. The surrounding legend reads 'THE AUSTRALIAN KOOKABURRA' in the upper arc and '1 OZ 999 SILVER' to the right, with the date '2009' at the base, all separated by raised dot stops and framed by a beaded inner border. |
