| Obverse description | The fourth portrait effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank-Broadley faces right, wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara, rendered with fine detail in the engraver's characteristic style. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the upper left rim, while AUSTRALIA and the date 2000 appear along the right and lower right rim respectively. The engraver's initials IRB are incuse beneath the truncation of the bust. The field is smooth and unadorned, allowing the finely modelled portrait to dominate the coin's face. |

| Reverse description | A dynamic depiction of a fencer in full lunge occupies the central field, shown in protective mask with ponytail, advancing with foil extended toward the right while the rear arm is drawn back for balance. The figure is rendered in high relief with considerable anatomical and costume detail. To the lower left, the official Sydney 2000 Olympic Games logo — comprising the script lettering Sydney 2000 and the five interlocked Olympic rings — appears alongside the Sydney 2000 Games mascot motif of stylised figures. The denomination 5 DOLLARS is inscribed vertically along the left rim in bold capital letters. |
