| Reversbeschreibung | A naturalistically rendered kookaburra, the iconic Australian kingfisher, is depicted perched on a branch in three-quarter profile facing left, occupying the central field of the square flan. The bird's plumage is rendered with fine engraved detail. The legend AUSTRALIA arcs above in large capital letters following the upper curve of the design, while the denomination ONE PENNY is inscribed in two lines in the lower portion of the field. The composition is bold and uncluttered, with ample flat field surrounding the central motif, reflecting the experimental design intent of the Kookaburra pattern series. |

In 1919, the Australian government was actively exploring alternatives to the bronze penny inherited from British practice, with kookaburra designs among several competing proposals for a distinctly national coinage. This Type 6 pattern is one of a small series of trial pieces struck in copper-nickel rather than the bronze that would have been expected for a circulation penny — the alloy change itself suggesting the committee was reconsidering both aesthetics and material simultaneously. None of the kookaburra patterns were adopted; Australia continued striking the familiar bronze penny through 1964.
