The series celebrates the kookaburra—Australia’s beloved “laughing” bird—recognized for its distinct call and symbolic connection to the country’s natural landscape. Each year’s release features a new design, adding collectibility and visual variety to an already prestigious series renowned for its minting excellence and global recognition.
