I quite like it, it'll look much better in the hand like all coins (I wasn't a fan of the latest Black Flag coin, The Red Fleet, but once I had it in hand, it grew on me). I find this new issue to be quite a realistic scene, I used to live up in the Perth hills and this depiction of the Kookaburra on a bird bath was an everyday occurrence for us.
In summer, we used to get a male and female couple who would visit our backyard and sit on the outdoor table with us as we would feed them scraps of meat
All you guys in Australia are so very fortunate, Some of us here in the UK would give our right arm to see these birds each morning .We have to wait to be able to buy these coins and I can tell you all it aint easy . Another super kookaburra design, the Perth mint has never let us collectors down with their issues. I am straining at the leash in anticipation. Release date can`t come soon enough .Brilliant Coin from the Brilliant Perth Mint .
