| Additional information |
The Kookaburra series originated with Australia's Perth Mint in 1990, but licensing arrangements have periodically allowed other sovereigns to issue companion pieces under the same branding — Fiji's involvement here is a fiscal arrangement rather than any zoological or cultural connection to the bird itself. At 0.5 grams, these fractional gold issues exist almost entirely as collector instruments; none will see a Fijian pocket.
