The Australian Kookaburra is a sought-after coin series featuring annual designs of this iconic ‘laughing’ bird. In 2022, four privy mark issues of a coloured variant will be issued to mark ANDA Money Expo events in Brisbane, Perth, Melbourne and Sydney.
Struck from 1oz of silver with a coloured embellishment, this Australian Kookaburra coin has been prepared with an exclusive privy mark to celebrate ANDA’s Money Expo event in Melbourne held 23rd July - 24th July 2022.
The coin’s reverse portrays an image of a kookaburra perched on an ornamental bird bath among Agapanthus, flowering plants regularly seen in Australian gardens. The design includes a coloured privy mark representation of a Leadbeater Possum – the animal emblem of Victoria found predominantly in the mountain ash forests of the state’s central highlands.
The reverse also incorporates the inscription ‘KOOKABURRA’, The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark, the coin’s weight, purity and 2022 year-date.
The coin is housed in a superbly illustrated presentation card featuring the words MELBOURNE MONEY EXPO ANDA SPECIAL and the Australasian Numismatic Dealer’s Association’s logo.
