| Additional information |
The Red-tailed Black Cockatoo dollar series emerged from the Royal Australian Mint's push in the mid-1990s to develop wildlife-themed silver issues with genuine collector appeal beyond the standard proof sets. The KM#367.1 designation distinguishes this from a later variant, meaning at least one die or finish change was recorded during the series run — worth confirming against the specific certificate of authenticity, as the differences can be subtle but carry cataloguing significance.
