Kookaburra 2025, 5 ounces silver, side with the kookaburra, image
5 ounces silver in proof quality, incused, 2025 issue. The image shows the kookaburra on a branch for the 35th anniversary, below it a privy mark recalling the first design of 1990.
The call
In chorus with the family
koo-koo-koo-koo-koo-kaa-kaa-kaa
In German it is also called Lachender Hans, “laughing Hans”. But what sounds like laughter is a territorial call: it warns other birds to stay away, as the Australian Museum writes.
The family often calls in chorus, above all at dawn and dusk. This is how it tells other kookaburras that its territory is occupied.
In the breeding season other kookaburras help out, usually young birds from the previous one to two years. Everyone in the group shares the rearing, and the parents are believed to pair for life.
At around 42 centimetres and 340 grams on average, it is one of the largest kingfishers. It lives almost everywhere in eastern Australia where suitable trees grow.
The perch
It waits quietly on a perch with a good view, then drops straight down.
Under the loupe
The side with the kookaburra carries the weight, fineness and year, together with the mintmark of the Perth Mint.
On the other side: the effigy of King Charles III by Dan Thorne. The design is by Sean Rogers.

How the years show it
Since 1990 the silver coin has carried the kookaburra, almost every year with a new design. The first was created by Stuart Devlin, who also designed Australia’s first decimal coins of 1966. Here are the years from our range.
