| Reverse description | A naturalistically rendered kookaburra (Dacelo novaeguineae) is depicted in three-quarter view, perched upon a large partially submerged log set within a tranquil river landscape. Aquatic vegetation, native trees, and a distant shoreline are visible in the mid-ground, imparting a sense of depth to the composition. The engraver's initials 'AH' appear at lower centre, with the Perth Mint 'P' mintmark to the right. The series title 'DISCOVER AUSTRALIA' arcs along the upper legend, while the lower legend reads '2012 KOOKABURRA 1/2oz 9999 GOLD'. |
