| Reverse description | A finely detailed kookaburra perches on a bare branch at center, facing left, rendered with selective gold gilding that highlights the bird's plumage against the mirrored silver proof field. Radiating sun-ray lines emanate from behind the bird, filling the background. A small inset privy-mark medallion depicting a kookaburra on a branch appears at the lower center of the design. The mint mark P and the designer's initials SR are located to the lower left of the branch. The curved legend KOOKABURRA arcs prominently across the upper field, flanked by the inscription 35TH ANNIVERSARY to the right, while 2025 2oz 9999 SILVER appears along the left field. |

| Additional information |
The kookaburra silver dollar series has run continuously since 1990, making it one of the longest-running annual bullion programs from any mint globally. Each year's reverse design changes — a requirement baked into the program from the outset to drive collector demand alongside bullion interest. The 2025 issue is among the first in the series to carry the Ian Rank-Broadley replacement portrait commissioned following Charles III's accession, with the Perth Mint adopting the new effigy earlier than several other Commonwealth issuing authorities.
