Reverse
Kookaburra on Branch (similar to KM# 616) with a special privy mark depicting the overlapping reverse and obverse designs of a Hungary Ferdinand Silver Denar coin, struck between 1531-1564 AD. The reverse design depicts ‘Patrona Hungariae’, the Hungarian Madonna with the Holy Child in her arms. A Hungarian Shield is shown on the obverse with stripes, a cross, heads of Dalmatian leopards and Bohemian lion. Known as ‘Madonnenmunzen’, in order to differentiate them from Medieval Hungarian ‘Shield Coins’, these coins were among the first to be used in Hungary during the Renaissance Period.

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of designs. The obverse features the 4th portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, while the reverse features the Australian Kookaburra, a native bird species. This combination of a traditional monarchical image with a distinctly Australian element makes the coin stand out. Additionally, the coin's high silver content and weight of 62.207 grams make it a valuable and collectible item for numismatists.
