The coin depicts one of Australia’s most iconic birds, which has long been a symbol of the country’s fauna. This issue stands out for its high-relief design and Proof quality, making it one of the most striking collector’s editions in the series. The design combines the highest level of minting craftsmanship with a limited mintage. The coin was created for collectors seeking prestigious issues, as well as enthusiasts of Australian nature and exceptional numismatic designs.
Even at first glance, the coin’s impressive depth of relief catches the eye. The combination of a mirror-like background with raised elements gives the depiction of the bird an almost three-dimensional quality. The obverse features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II along with the issuer’s mark, the year of issue, and the face value. The meticulously finished surface emphasizes the elegant character of the entire design. The reverse depicts two kookaburras perched on branches in their natural surroundings. The meticulously rendered feathers, the texture of the bark, and the vegetation create a realistic composition, while the high relief further highlights every detail of the design.
The coin is part of one of Australia's most recognizable collector's series, which dates back to 1990. Each year, a new design featuring the kookaburra—a bird considered one of Australia's symbols—is unveiled.
High-relief versions are produced in very limited quantities and are among the most sought-after editions in this series. The series was created to highlight the beauty of Australia’s natural landscape and showcase the capabilities of modern numismatic art.
