The reverse of the coin consists of a Kookaburra sitting on a tree branch in addition to Queen Elizabeth II as it appeared on the first Kookaburra coin in 1990.
The kookaburra is a species of kingfisher and actually means laughing bird. This is because the bird's call resembles a human laugh. The creature grows to about 42 centimeters and lives mainly in the east and southeast of Australia. The kookaburra's special feature is that it mainly hunts land animals and is not bound to water like many kingfishers. It prefers to eat insects, snails, reptiles, frogs and sometimes other small birds.
