Owner Comments:
I got this coin as a kind of "happy accident." I had ordered another coin but he sent this one by mistake. When I informed him of the error he told me to keep this coin and he sent me the coin I ordered as well (an MS69 Lunar Snake). The 2007 design is simple but very striking. The kookaburra is perched but seen at a very dynamic angle. It seems to be staring intently at something in the distance, possibly about to take flight after its prey.
