Beloved the world over, this Perth Mint signature coin series celebrates one of Australia’s largest kingfisher, the kookaburra. Famed for its raucous laughing call, the kookaburra is heard across Australia — from the outback to the back yard.

Design

To celebrate the 35" 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 sun burst. The reverse also includes the inscription ‘KOOKABURRA 35th ANNIVERSARY’, The Perth Mint's ‘P’ mintmark, and the coin's weight, purity and 2025 year-date.

Technical Information

The reverse design elements typically pressed in raised high relief have been recessed below the coin’s surface in an impressively detailed incused strike, made possible by the wide deep planchet. The coin's obverse has been struck in The Perth Mint's traditional high relief finish.

Presentation

Accompanied by a numbered certificate of authenticity, the coin is enclosed in a protective capsule and presented in a classic acrylic display case with a clear lid, and beautifully designed card shipper.
