| Additional information |
The Virginia privy mark was added to standard Australian Kookaburra bullion strikes as part of a series of state-themed releases coinciding with the Sydney Olympics year. These privy-marked variants were produced in limited quantities through arrangements with American distributors, targeting the U.S. collector market specifically — Virginia's inclusion reflecting that state's strong retail coin dealer network at the time.
KM#615 covers the base type; privy variants sit outside standard catalog attribution in most references, making precise mintage figures difficult to confirm independently.
