| Reversbeschreibung | A kookaburra rendered in coarse, bold relief perches on a branch at center, facing left with its distinctive heavy bill clearly delineated. The bird's plumage is deliberately depicted with a coarse, almost rustic engraving style that differentiates this pattern type from others in the series. The legend AUSTRALIA arcs along the upper portion of the square field, while the denomination ONE PENNY appears in two lines to the lower right of the bird. The overall composition is uncluttered, with the kookaburra dominating the central field against a plain background within the square, rounded-corner flan. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Australia's pre-decimal penny coinage was a persistent political headache. The Commonwealth relied on imported British pennies well into the 1910s, and domestic minting trials ran for years as authorities debated composition, design, and the practical demands of a coin that needed to survive hard colonial use. The kookaburra pattern series of 1920 was part of that extended evaluation — multiple types were struck in varying compositions and weights to test striking quality and public reception before any official type was committed to production.
No kookaburra penny ever entered circulation. The familiar Indian-minted and later Melbourne-struck pennies won out, and the patterns were shelved.
