| Obverse description | The fourth crowned effigy of Queen Elizabeth II faces right, wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara, as sculpted by Ian Rank-Broadley. The legend 'ELIZABETH II AUSTRALIA 30 DOLLARS' surrounds the portrait, with the engraver's initials 'IRB' appearing below the truncation of the neck. The design is rendered in high relief against a polished field, consistent with the bullion coin series issued by the Perth Mint. |

| Reverse description | A highly detailed, naturalistic rendering of an Australian Kookaburra (Dacelo novaeguineae) is depicted perched upon a branch, facing left, with its characteristic large beak prominent and plumage rendered in fine relief. The bird's feathers are intricately detailed, showcasing the kookaburra's distinctive mottled brown and white markings against a frosted background. The legend 'AUSTRALIAN KOOKABURRA' arcs along the upper field, while the inscription '2012 1 KILO 999 SILVER' appears in the lower exergue area. A Perth Mint 'P' mintmark is incorporated within the reverse design. This reverse design changes annually, as is the tradition of the Australian Kookaburra bullion series. |
