| Reverse description | A laughing kookaburra (Dacelo novaeguineae) is depicted perched upon a gnarled branch with native Australian foliage and eucalyptus boughs rendered in finely detailed relief against a mirror-polished field. The bird is shown in a characteristic upright posture with its beak raised, tail feathers spread, and plumage rendered with great naturalistic precision. The circular legend THE AUSTRALIAN KOOKABURRA 1 OZ. 999 SILVER arcs around the upper and lateral periphery, while the date · 1991 · appears along the lower arc. The small Perth Mint privy mark P is situated in the lower central field beneath the branch. |
