Buy Kookaburra coin

The obverse of the silver coin features the kookaburra - the largest kingfisher in the world. It is widespread in Australia. Its trademark is a distinctive voice reminiscent of laughter. There is a legend about it in Aboriginal mythology: It says that a god-like being commanded the kookaburra to laugh loudly at sunrise so that people would not miss the sunrise. The name "Kookaburra" comes from the language of the Australian aborigines.
