The Australian Kookaburra coins were introduced by the Perth Mint in 1990. It is the longest-running silver bullion coin in the country and the second longest-running gold bullion series behind only the Australian Nugget/Kangaroo that debuted in 1987. Like other major bullion coin programs from the Perth Mint, new images are used on the reverse each year.

Obverse

Queen Elizabeth II is depicted on the obverse of 2020 Australian Kookaburra 1/10 oz Gold Coins. Here, the Queen is featured in right-profile relief wearing the George IV State Diadem crown, earrings, and the Victorian coronation necklace. For the first time since 1966, an Australian coin portrait of Her Majesty includes her neckline and shoulders. Inscriptions include Elizabeth II, Australia, and 15 Dollars.

Reverse

The 1990 design created by Stuart Devlin that launched the Australian Kookaburra series is featured on the reverse of these 2020 Australian Kookaburra 1/10 oz Gold Coins. In this design, a lone kookaburra sits amidst the foliage perched on the stump of a fallen tree. Inscriptions on this side include a dual date mark of 1990 and 2020, as well as Australian Kookaburra, 1/10 oz 9999 Gold, and the P mintmark of the Perth Mint.

History

Other 2020 Australian Kookaburra releases feature two designs of the kookaburra to celebrate the 30^th anniversary. This includes a new reverse design for 2020, and this Stuart Devlin 1990 design on the obverse along with the Queens effigy. However, the smaller design field of these all-new 1/10 oz gold coins results in only the 1990 Stuart Devlin design featuring on this particular release.
