| Reverse description | A highly detailed naturalistic depiction of a short-beaked echidna (Tachyglossus aculeatus) rendered in high relief, facing toward the viewer with its characteristic elongated snout and dense covering of spines prominently displayed. The large numeral '5' appears centrally in the lower portion of the field, flanked by the animal's forelegs and set against a plain background. The engraver's initials 'SD' (Stuart Devlin) appear near the lower rim. The design is notable for its bold, sculptural rendering of this iconic Australian monotreme. |
