| Reverse description | A kookaburra (Dacelo novaeguineae) is depicted perched upon a branch facing right, rendered in high relief with fine feather detail against a plain field. Leafy eucalyptus branches frame the composition on either side, providing a naturalistic setting characteristic of the Australian Kookaburra bullion series. The mintmark 'P' appears in the field, denoting the Perth Mint. The overall design conveys a strong sense of the bird's characteristic upright posture and distinctive large beak. |
