What’s So Funny?

Kookaburras, Kingfisher birds of prey native to Australia and New Guinea, come in four known species. The most famous of the four, the Laughing Kookaburra, frequently overshadows the other three due to the notoriety of its famous call. Various films, TV shows, and video games utilize this sound to create a jungle-like atmosphere, and sometimes use the call to simulate monkey sounds! Theme park visitors probably also recognize this bird sound from thematic rides at places like Disney World or Universal Studios. Because of its unique cry, the kookaburra remains one of the most well-known Australian animals in addition to the kangaroo and koala. Therefore, the Perth Mint continues to mint these popular coins for kookaburra fans across the world.

Still Sitting in the Old Gum Tree

The obverse of the kookaburra, which remains the same each year, features the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II. Designed by Jody Clark, this portrait showcases the queen wearing her crown and jewelry. The Queen’s name, country of mintage, and denomination are inscribed around the coin’s rim.

The reverse of the coin displays the new 2021 design. A kookaburra serenely sits on a tree branch, glancing to its left. Inscriptions include the name of the bird, the year of mintage, the mint mark, as well as the weight and purity of the coin.
