Beloved the world over, Perth Mint's signature coin series celebrates one of Australia’s largest kingfishers, the kookaburra. Native to Australia, the kookaburra is known for its distinctive, laughter-like call that echoes through the bush.

Often seen perched on branches scanning for prey, it symbolises the spirit of the Australian wilderness. As a member of the kingfisher family, the kookaburra is unique in that it rarely eats fish, preferring insects, small reptiles, and small mammals. Its iconic call is often associated with the sounds of the Australian outback, making it an emblem of the country’s natural heritage.

Design

The coin’s reverse depicts a majestic kookaburra soaring above a riverbed, surrounded by rugged grasslands, trees, and rocky terrain. The reverse also includes the inscription ‘KOOKABURRA’, the coin’s weight, purity, fineness and 2026 year-date, along with The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark.
