The branch is sticking out from a river, as the purple sun rays fall on the waters, while wetland grass and a tree surround the river. Other inscriptions include AUSTRALIAN KOOKABURRA, year-date 2019, weight and fineness, and ‘P’ mintmark of Perth Mint. The obverse side depicts an effigy of Queen Elizabeth II designed by Jody Clark, along with face value 1 Dollar (AUD).
