The Australian Kookaburra gold bullion series launched in 2020, marking Perth Mint's expansion of the long-running silver Kookaburra program into five-ounce gold format. Each annual release carries a new kookaburra design, a deliberate strategy Perth Mint adopted from its lunar series to drive collector demand on top of pure bullion interest. The sixth portrait of Elizabeth II — by Jody Clark, introduced on Australian coinage in 2019 — appears here in one of its final years before the Queen's death in September 2022 rendered the entire portrait series closed.
