| Reversbeschreibung | A plump kookaburra, rendered in bold relief, is depicted perched upon a short section of a naturalistic tree branch positioned centrally in the field. The bird faces left and is shown in a compact, stocky posture characteristic of the species. The legend AUSTRALIA arcs above the central device in large incuse or raised lettering, while ONE PENNY appears in two lines below the branch in the lower field, all set within the distinctive square flan with rounded corners. |

In 1919, the Australian government was actively searching for a design to replace the inherited British penny type. The Kookaburra patterns — produced in multiple types across 1919 and 1920 — were part of a serious official effort to establish a distinctly Australian coinage identity. Type 6a is one of the silver strikings, almost certainly produced for presentation or cabinet purposes rather than circulation testing; the .925 composition makes no practical sense for a working penny trial.
The broader Kookaburra pattern series was ultimately abandoned. Australia would not adopt the kookaburra as a penny motif until the 1990s commemorative program — over seventy years later.
