The call

In chorus with the family

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 Queen Elizabeth II by Jody Clark. The design is by Natasha Muhl.

The designs

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.

The emblem of the state

For the ANDA Money Expos of 2022 and 2023, the Perth Mint struck issues with a coloured privy mark. On this coin it shows the emblem of the state where the show took place.

Here it is the numbat, Western Australia’s animal emblem since 1973, for the show in Perth in 2022.

✔ ANDA Münzmesse in Perth

Diese besondere Silbermünze wurde zum Anlass der ANDA Münzmesse in Perth im Jahr 2022 von dem australischen Hersteller Perth Mint gefertigt. Die Gesamtausgabe ist auf nur 2.000 Stück limitiert, weshalb diese einzigartige Münze ein echtes Sammlerstück ist.

✔ Der Kookaburra – ein lachender Vogel

Das Motiv dieser Münze ist der australische Vogel Kookaburra. Der Kooaburra gibt einen ganz besonderen Laut von sich, der stark an ein kreischendes, menschliches Lachen erinnert, weshalb er auch den Spitznamen Lachender Hans bekommen hat.

Die Rufe des Vogels sind vor allem bei Sonnenaufgang und bei Sonnenuntergang zu hören. Damit verteidigen und markieren sie ihr Revier.

✔ Privy Mark in Numbat-Form

Diese Münze hat ein ganz besonderes Kennzeichnen, nämlich ein Privy Mark in Numbat-Form. Ein Privy Mark ist eine Münzmarkierung, die zur Identifizierung der Münze dient und vor Fälschungen schützen soll.

Dieses colorierte Privy Mark hat die Form eines australischen Numbats, besser bekannt unter dem Namen Ameisenbeutler. Den Namen hat er der Tatsache zu verdanken, dass er zu den Beuteltieren zählt und sich, unter anderem, von Ameisen ernährt.

Besonders auffallend ist seine sehr lange und dünne Zunge, die auf dem Privy Mark auch gut zu erkennen ist.
