| Obverse description | The sixth and final effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, as sculpted by Jody Clark, depicted in right-facing portrait wearing the George IV State Diadem and the Victorian Coronation Necklace. The sovereign is shown crowned and draped, with fine detail rendered in the jewellery and regalia. The legend ELIZABETH II AUSTRALIA arcs around the upper periphery of the field, with the date and engraver's initials JC positioned at the lower portion of the design. |

| Reverse description | Central to the field is a stylised, toy-like wooden echidna rendered in a posable, articulated form reminiscent of a classic children's pull-along toy, its characteristic spines fanning dramatically outward to fill the upper and lateral fields. The echidna's segmented limbs, rounded body panels with wood-grain texturing, and elongated snout are rendered in high relief, conveying a whimsical, craft-inspired aesthetic. Flanking the lower portion of the design are scattered rounded wooden toy elements, and the denomination numeral 5 is prominently displayed in the lower central field beneath the main figure. |
