A beaded border frames the design throughout the periphery. The circular legend THE AUSTRALIAN KOOKABURRA 10 OZ. 999 SILVER arcs around the upper and lateral periphery, while the date 2006 appears at the base, all separated by raised dot stops. |

| Additional information |
The Australian Kookaburra series began in 1990 as Perth Mint's answer to the dominant Maple Leaf and American Eagle bullion programs, with the deliberate marketing hook of an annually changing reverse design — a strategy borrowed from the Chinese Panda series and intended to drive collector demand alongside pure bullion buyers. The 10-dollar, 10-troy-ounce denomination sits at the practical ceiling of the series' standard annual releases, above which Perth produced limited kilo and multi-kilo formats.
Ian Rank-Broadley's fourth portrait of Elizabeth II, adopted by Australian coinage in 1999, appears here in its mid-series run before the fifth portrait transition of 2012.
