Notes:
The 1996 two ounce Star Pagoda Privy Kookaburra in Flight $2 silver coin was released at the NAA Sydney Coin Fair in November, 1996. The coin carries a gold inlay privy mark which represents the design of an Indian Pagoda. The coin took its name from the 'Star' shaped design on one side of the small, lumpy gold coin. During the 18th century, the Pagoda was the principle gold coin of Southern India. In his Proclamation of 1800, Governor King gave the coin a value of eight shillings. The coin is part of a 4 coin privy mark set released by the Perth Mint at various coin shows throughout 1996.
