Comment

Kookaburra design coins from 2006 onward are part of the second series. The designs were not used again in the following year, however some designs from the original series (1990 - 2005) were used again.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2008 Australian Kookaburra Silver Bullion Coin is that it features a unique reverse design, showcasing a kookaburra perched on a tree branch, surrounded by leaves and a crescent moon. The design was created by Australian artist, Natasha Muhl, and it's the first time a kookaburra has been featured on a silver bullion coin. This design change was implemented to differentiate the silver bullion coin from the standard circulating coin, and to emphasize the coin's unique features and collectibility.
