Notes:

This coin was struck by the Perth Mint to commemorate the Japanese Royal Wedding of the Crown Prince Naruhito and Masako Owada on June 9, 1993 at the Imperial Palace. Although the official issue was supposed to be 1,000 coins, only 210 were actually struck due to 'technical difficulties'. The coin is the first privy mark on a One Kilogram Kookaburra coin and the first privy mark to commemorate a foreign event.
