| Reverse description | A finely detailed high-relief depiction of an adult kookaburra (Dacelo novaeguineae) perched on a branch amid eucalyptus foliage, its head turned to feed a nestling held within its beak. A second nestling is visible to the left among the branches, rendered with exceptional naturalistic detail. The circular legend 'THE AUSTRALIAN KOOKABURRA 10 OZ. 999 SILVER' arcs around the periphery, with the date '1992' appearing at the base, all enclosed within a beaded border. The small 'P' mintmark for the Perth Mint is incorporated discreetly into the design near the lower field. |
