Comments

Perth Mint's 2002 Proof issue of the Australian Kookaburra Silver Bullion Coin Series is Australia's first ever square-shaped legal tender coin. The design is based on the early square Kookaburra pattern pennies of which none were ever officially circulated.

The coin was released in a lenticular coincard.
