The kookaburra bird is native to Australia and contains 4 different breeds within the species. This bird is known to contain a beautiful compilation of colors within its feathers and by some of the colors, its gender can be determined. Kookaburras are also viewed as "spirit birds" and a sudden sighting of one could be a sign of opportunity. It is encouraged, if you see a kookaburra, to pay close attention to opportunities around you and not to be timid. The Kookaburra is considered carnivorous, preying on mice, reptiles, insects, and causing farmers to be angry since they steal their fowl. This specific type of bird is known for something else that sets it apart from other birds. The kookaburra's cackle weirdly sounds like human laughter and depending on which kookaburra it is, the laughters can be differentiated.
Your 2006 Silver Kookaburra is guaranteed to be two ounces of .999 pure silver and considerately packaged in an airtight coin capsule. The remarkable luster of the "freshly struck" brilliant uncirculated finish is just the icing on the cake. The Silver Kookaburra series is the ideal gift to mark a special occasion or to treasure for your own collection.

-Obverse: A famous sculptor is chosen every so often to create a unique masterpiece of Queen Elizabeth II. Ian Rank-Broadley was chosen in 1997 and revealed an aspect about the Queen other artists were hesitant to do. Instead of portraying a young Queen, Broadley chose to honor the Queen's maturity by depicting her as she realistically is.
-Reverse: Two smaller kookaburras are on the reverse side of the 2006 silver coin. Both are perched on a thin branch and are lightly struck with a shiny proof-like finish. The background possesses a complete matte frosted finish that makes the birds come to life. The reverse also bears the coin series' title, the purity of the coin, and the date the coin was minted.
