The kookaburra is a terrestrial tree kingfisher that is indigenous to Australia and New Guinea. Olly the Kookaburra was one of three mascots chosen for the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney. Despite being classified as a kingfisher, the kookaburra favors eating mice, snakes, insects, and small reptiles over the occasional goldfish. The most distinct characteristic of the kookaburra is their loud call that sounds like echoing human laughter. The distinctive call of the kookaburra has been used in filmmaking, television productions, and Disney theme park attractions.

Each coin is struck from pure silver and will most likely be fulfilled with the most current year of issue.
