This stunning 2023 issue by the Perth Mint is the third 1/4 Oz gold proof Kookaburra ever released. The motive features two kookaburras perched on branches. They are surrounded by the Waratah flower, a native flower species of Australia and the emblem flower of the state of New South Wales. The inscription "KOOKABURRA", the traditional mintmark "P" of the Perth Mint as well as the year of issue, the weight and the fineness complete the design.

The Kookaburra is the largest member of the kingfisher family and the national bird of Australia. It is also called "laughing Hans" in German. It owes this name to its loud call, which is comparable to human laughter, and which it prefers to sound in the early morning and late evening. The mintage is limited to only 500 pieces worldwide.
