Obverse

The obverse of the 1992 Proof Australian Silver Kookaburra Coin features Queen Elizabeth II in a right-profile relief designed by Raphael Maklouf. This portrait, created in 1985, shows the Queen wearing the George IV State Diadem, a symbol of royal authority.

Reverse

On the reverse of 1992 10 oz Proof Silver Kookaburras, youll find a charming kookaburra resting on a short branch. Known for their unique behaviors, kookaburras are patient hunters, often perched and waiting for the perfect moment to swoop down on their prey. The design captures the essence of this iconic bird.

History

The kookaburra is native to Australia and New Guinea, easily recognized by its loud, human-like laughter. These territorial birds are part of the kingfisher family and live in family groups. Unlike many kingfishers, they seldom hunt fish and prefer to prey on small animals and insects instead.
