2022 $5 Mini Kookaburra 1/2g Gold Frosted Uncirculated Coin

The Coin Company is proud to present 2022 $5 Mini Kookaburra 1/2g Gold Frosted Uncirculated Coin produced by The Royal Australian Mint

Often referred to as the “laughing kookaburra” for it’s distinctive vocal pattern, the kookaburra call is not as friendly as it may appear. Their calls are actually warming other birds to keep away. Researchers have found that family units will laugh in a similar manner and vocalise together to amplify their claim to their territory.

This intriguing bird is an icon of Australia, featuring in films, books and music such as the well-known song Kookaburra [sits in the old gumtree], which is sang by generations of Australian children.

This $5 coin contains a half gram of 99.99 per cent gold, packaged in an attractive presentation capsule. The coin is legal tender and features Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse and, on the reverse, a highly detailed design of kookaburra perched on a textured branch.

2022 $5 Mini Kookaburra 1/2g Gold Frosted Uncirculated Coin has a limited mintage of 5000 coins
