As above guys, bear in mind proofs are one year ahead design wise of the Bu's.

My favourites in order are

 1  2001 Proof

 2  1996 Proof

 3  2016 Bu

 

The problem with common sense is, its not that common.

Tough one, 

1, 2008 bu, just love the glum looking kook along with the spiders web, sums up the 2008 economy at the time.

2, 2016 bu, just got my hands on the 10oz, great design with so much depth, the barb wires the icing on the cake for me.

3, 2001 proof, I don't have this coin but it's one I've always liked, the proof looks better that the bu.

1.2008 (because it's a stand out coin with no others that are similar)

2. 2016 (only second since the 1998 was also on a fence)

3. 2013 (because this was my first kook)

Looks like 2016 is overall favourite so far & I wouldn't argue with that, it's a beauty.

The problem with common sense is, its not that common.

I'm surprised there are no votes for the 2015. I love that one.

Anyway, my votes are:-

1. 2008 BU

2. 2009 BU

3. 2015 BU

Stacker since 2013

Here's my trifecta:

 

1990 BU - Iconic design, re-used multiple times in proof, various weights and then again in 2015 (why?). To me this is a scene that is typical in eastern Australia, the Kook on the stump surrounded by the ferns and gum leaves.

2016 BU - The kook is known for its laugh and this bloke is sitting on the fence post giving it his best shot. The dry gum tree in the background is a nice touch, again a scene that I can recognize as being typically Aussie. Great in the colored version.

1999 BU - Designs are nice when they have a mother and baby. Not sure what this little bloke is laughing at but he looks cute doing it
