| Additional information |
The Australian five-cent denomination had been struck in cupronickel since decimalization in 1966, making this fine silver proof iteration something of an anomaly — the same humble coin elevated purely for the collector market rather than any monetary or commemorative purpose. These were issued as components of annual proof sets rather than as standalone releases, which means surviving examples outside their original packaging are relatively uncommon and almost always unhandled.
Ian Rank-Broadley's fourth portrait of Elizabeth II, adopted across Commonwealth coinage from 1998 onward, anchors the obverse throughout this seventeen-year run.
