| Obverse description | Uncrowned effigy of King Charles III facing left, rendered in moderate relief with finely detailed hair and a suit collar visible at the truncation. The portrait, designed by Dominic Torney, is the first effigy of Charles III used on Australian coinage. The engraver's initials 'DT' appear below the truncation. The circumferential legend reads 'CHARLES III · AUSTRALIA' at the upper field, with the date '2024' descending along the right. |

| Reverse description | A stylised, whimsical depiction of a poseable wooden toy echidna rendered in a playful, articulated manner, with its characteristically elongated snout, rounded button eyes, and segmented limbs spread wide across the field. The body is surrounded by fan-like arrays of rope-textured spines, and the four jointed limbs terminate in textured, rounded feet arranged symmetrically around the central design. The denomination numeral '5' appears in large, bold characters at the centre-lower field, partially overlapping the figure's lower limbs. The overall composition is enclosed within the coin's inner border with no additional legend. |
