Notes:

The 1996 two ounce Johanna Privy Kookaburra & Chick $2 silver coin was released at the NAA Melbourne Coin Fair in July, 1996. The coin carries a gold inlay privy mark which represents the design of a Portugese Johanna, one of the most spectacular of all the coins covered by Governor King's proclamation of 1800 even though it was last struck in 1732. Governor King gave the coin the highest value of all Proclamation coins - 4 Pounds. The coin is part of a 4 coin privy mark set released by the Perth Mint at various coin shows throughout 1996.
