I find the Australian Kookaburra to be a very elegant bird, and adorable when featured on coins. It's no surprise, then, that I couldn't resist this coin when it came up for sale in the Inflation Mitigation Lounge.
ANDA stands for the Australian Numismatic Dealers's Association. It was formed to foster relationships and cooperation among dealers, with the goal of promoting interest in Numismatics. (Source)
Obverse
The obverse features two Kookaburras in the wild, perched on branches. There are different versions of this coin with a different animal "privy" featured on it. In this one you can see the privy is the Kookaburra itself.
Reverse
Technically, I think this is considered the "obverse" because it depicts the former queen. In my opinion, the non-deocrative side depicting a monarch, politician, leader, etc., should be considered the reverse, as it's the most boring part of any coin unless we're talking tributes to people in history outside the realm of politics.
Specifications
The specifications were listed on the back, so I decided to be lazy and snap a photo, rather than type it all out.
The coin itself is in an air tite, and the air tite is then house in a cardboard "postcard" of sorts, which has a pop-out stand in the back for those who want to put it on display. Personally, I plan to keep it in the plastic and pass it on to my kids or sell it for gold once it's appreciated more in value.
