| Reverse description | A kookaburra depicted in full flight, soaring above a naturalistic Australian riverbed landscape featuring rugged grasslands, scattered trees, and rocky terrain rendered in fine detail. The bird's wings are fully extended, capturing the species in dynamic motion. The legend 'KOOKABURRA' appears prominently within the design, while the lower field carries the inscriptions denoting the year of issue, weight, and fineness. The Perth Mint 'P' mintmark and the designer's initials 'WR' are also present within the reverse field. |

| Additional information |
At 0.5 grams of .9999 gold, this piece belongs to a format the Royal Australian Mint has developed specifically to bring bullion-linked proof coinage within reach of a broader collector base — a commercial calculation as much as a numismatic one. It also marks the first use of the third effigy of Charles III on Australian coinage, the portrait by Australian sculptor Natasha Ratcliffe selected by the RAM following the King's accession in 2022.
