| Obverse description | The right half of the obverse is dominated by a large intaglio-style vignette of a Tasmanian devil (Sarcophilus harrisii) rendered in dark brown tones against a naturalistic bush background. To the left, a stylized golden lizard appears as a decorative element amid a light blue and pink guilloche underprint bearing the large watermark-style text "AUSTR" across the centre. The denomination "5 FIVE AUSSIES" is printed in bold dark green at lower left, with the serial number running vertically along the left margin and the country name "AUSTRALIA" printed vertically in an ornate bar along the right edge. |

| Comments |
Australia's polymer substrate has been standard for domestic currency since 1988, making a paper-composition 5 Aussie note in 2025 an immediate anomaly worth flagging. This appears to be a novelty or souvenir item rather than a Reserve Bank of Australia legal tender issue — the RBA has not issued paper-substrate banknotes for routine circulation in over three decades, and the "5 Aussies" denomination is not part of any official series.
Catalog with caution.
