| Reverse description | Central design depicting a stylised kookaburra rendered in an Aboriginal Dreamtime artistic style, with intricate dot-work and linear patterning across the bird's plumage. The background field features pad-printed coloration in shades of blue and teal, evoking traditional Indigenous Australian dot-painting motifs with wavy lines and dotted patterns. The Perth Mint mintmark P appears to the right of the central design, accompanied by the designer's initials DB. The upper arc of the legend reads DISCOVER AUSTRALIA, while the lower arc carries the inscription 2011 KOOKABURRA 1oz 999 SILVER. |

| Additional information |
The "Kookaburra Dreaming" label refers to Perth Mint's ongoing Silver Kookaburra bullion series, which began in 1990 and changes its reverse design annually — a deliberate strategy that drives collector demand beyond pure silver melt value. The pad-printing technique used here applies color directly onto the struck surface, a process Perth Mint adopted for special issues in the late 2000s to differentiate premium collector pieces from standard bullion without altering the underlying die work.
