Reverse description A kookaburra, the iconic Australian kingfisher, is depicted perched on a branch in the central field, rendered in fine detail with naturalistic feathering and a prominent beak. The word AUSTRALIA arches above the bird in bold, incuse-style lettering following the upper curve of the square flan. Below the central motif, the denomination ONE PENNY appears in two lines in the lower field. The overall design is set within a raised border conforming to the square format with rounded corners, reflecting the experimental nature of this pattern issue.
