The Kookaburra is a unique bird native to Australia and New Guinea, well-known for its distinctive "laughing" call that resembles human laughter. Belonging to the kingfisher family, the Kookaburra is the largest kingfisher species, with the most common types being the Laughing Kookaburra and the Blue-winged Kookaburra. These birds are carnivorous, feeding on small mammals, insects, reptiles, and even other birds, rather than fish, as many kingfishers do. Kookaburras are monogamous and often form family units, with offspring from previous seasons helping parents raise new chicks.

Their iconic call is typically heard at dawn and dusk, earning them the nickname “bushman's clock” due to its association with the early morning and evening hours. Kookaburras have become symbolic of the Australian wilderness and are often featured in Australian culture, appearing on coins, stamps, and even in songs and folklore. They are celebrated not only for their laughter-like calls but also for their role in the ecosystem, controlling populations of smaller animals and maintaining a balance in the habitat.

This coin is struck in high relief, rending the Kookaburra image very life-like.

The coin comes presented in a beautiful box that makes it an ideal gift. 

Each coin comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.
