Famous Australian bird

Famed for its raucous laughing call, the kookaburra is heard across Australia – from the outback to the back yard. And while it may be adept at snatching food from your barbeque or picnic table, the kookaburra enjoys a varied menu in the wild - insects, earthworms, frogs, fish, mice, or even venomous snakes!

35^th anniversary design

To celebrate the 35^th anniversary of the iconic Australian Kookaburra, the coin’s reverse depicts a majestic kookaburra perched on a tree branch. A privy mark pays tribute to the original Australian kookaburra coin design, with radiant lines symbolising a sunburst. The bird and outer ring of the coin are gilded in 24-carat gold. The reverse also includes the inscription ‘KOOKABURRA 35^th ANNIVERSARY’, The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark, and the coin’s weight, purity and 2025 year-date.
