| Reverse description | Three overlapping rectangular portrait vignettes arranged in a cascading diagonal composition across the field, each depicting the bust of a notable Australian historical figure: Marcus Clarke (left), Sir Henry Parkes (centre), and Sir Samuel Griffith (right), each bearded and rendered in high relief. The surnames CLARK, PARKES, and GRIFFITH appear as legends adjacent to their respective portraits, with the numeral 5 to the upper right and the word DOLLARS inscribed in bold spaced lettering along the lower portion of the field. Decorative horizontal line elements and a bold curved arc provide a graphic modernist framing device. |
