Hungry 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, and even snakes.
Gilded kookaburra design
The coin portrays a high relief representation of a kookaburra in flight with a snake in its talons. Adding further to the coin’s spectacular appearance, the kookaburra and the outer ring of the coin are meticulously gilded in 24 carat gold. The reverse also includes the inscription ‘KOOKABURRA’, a ‘P125’ mintmark signifying The Perth Mint’s 125th anniversary, and the coin’s weight, purity and 2024 year-date.
H.M. King Charles III effigy
The coin’s obverse portrays the Dan Thorne effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, and the monetary denomination.
Presentation packaging
Accompanied by a numbered certificate of authenticity, the coin is housed in a presentation case with a transparent top, and beautifully illustrated shipper.
