Perth mint has gone back and reminted the 1992 Kooks to the 300K mintage limit. Many dealers had or have these in stock at low premiums compared to usual Kooks. If you are a collector of these I would suggest just wait until Perth remints other years. If you are a dealer I would dump your old year Kooks - the premiums across all years of the Kook line should crash with the prospects of all previous years being flooded with new Kooks.

Here are past mintages and how many Perth can actual pump out.

I enquired with the Perth Mint regarding the dies used to produce the current batch of 1992 Kookaburras being distributed, to my relatively untrained eye, the new coins appeared to have finer/thinner details particularly in the branches and leaves above the kook's head.

Here's the response regarding which dies were used:

To produce up to 300,000 coins it is necessary to prepare several sets of dies. All dies for 1992 Kookaburra coins are made from the original working hob.

Any minor differences are down to where any set of dies is in its life cycle.

Every coin is inspected and approved for issue only if it is within our quality parameters. Once the strike no longer satisfies the required level of detail, the dies are scrapped and we move on to the next set.

So basically differences depending on the age of the individual die sets used to strike a particular batch of coins.
