Known for its distinct call that resembles laughter, the kookaburra is a familiar sound in the Australian bush and features prominently in local folklore and music. Alongside it, the koala and kangaroo are long-standing symbols of Australia, appearing in national imagery from tourism ads to sports teams and government logos.

Each 2022 1/4 oz Australian Wildlife Gold Coin is shipped in a protective flip. The reverse art combines the koala, kookaburra, and kangaroo into one scene, reflecting their lasting significance in Australian storytelling and their role in representing the country around the world.

The obverse of the 2022 Australian Wildlife Gold Coin shows Queen Elizabeth II in right-profile wearing the George IV State Diadem. This portrait, created by Jody Clark in 2015, was the final effigy used on Australian and Commonwealth coins during her reign.

On the reverse of the 2022 1/4 oz Wildlife Gold Coin, you’ll see all three featured animals, the koala, kookaburra, and kangaroo, in a detailed composition. These creatures are more than national icons; they also appear in Indigenous Dreamtime stories, connecting them to the ancient cultural traditions of the land.
