| Beschrijving keerzijde | A highly stylised, close-up rendition of a Short-beaked Echidna (Tachyglossus aculeatus), designed by Stuart Devlin, fills the entire field, its characteristic spines radiating outward from the body to the coin's periphery. The numeral 5 is boldly superimposed at the centre of the design, partially overlapping the animal's body. The denomination legend SD appears in small characters at the lower centre of the field, incorporating the designer's initials. The composition faithfully reproduces, in miniature gold proof format, the iconic reverse design introduced on the Australian five-cent circulation coin in 1966. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The "Australian Miniature Money" series was the Royal Australian Mint's answer to a collector market increasingly drawn to novelty formats — producing legal-tender strikes at a scale that renders them nearly impossible to handle without tweezers. At 0.5 grams of .9999 gold, each piece contains so little metal that the minting tolerances alone represent a meaningful proportion of the coin's total mass.
