On the obverse field of 2022 5 oz Australian Kookaburra Incused Coins is a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Her Majesty is presented in right-profile relief wearing earrings, a necklace, and the George IV State Diadem. This 5th Generation design was created by engraver Jody Clark for the Royal Mint in 2015. Along the rim are the words Elizbeth II, Australia, 8 Dollars.
The reverse of the 2022 Australian Silver Kookaburra Incused Coin shows the latest Kookaburra design. Instead of high relief strike, these designs are incused, which means they recede from the surface. Additional design elements include a decorative birdbath and Agapanthus flowers. The hallmarks are inscribed across the outer portion of the coin. They read Kookaburra, 2022, 5 oz, .9999 silver.
If you go birdwatching, Kookaburras shouldn’t be too difficult to spot. They have very distinctive pale front sides with dark wings and tail feathers. Also, their beaks are longer than most and shaped like a boat. But if you’re unable to find a Kookaburra, you might be able to hear one instead. Unlike the common chirp, these birds make a truly distinctive laughing noise in order to protect their territory.
