| Obverse description | The fourth definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank-Broadley is depicted in right-facing profile, wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara. The Queen's hair is styled in soft curls, and the portrait is rendered with fine sculptural detail against a deeply mirrored proof field. The engraver's initials 'IRB' appear truncated below the neck. The circumferential legend reads 'ELIZABETH II' to the left and 'AUSTRALIA 2002' to the right, with the denomination '5 DOLLARS' inscribed along the lower rim, flanked by two raised dots. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a striking composite design celebrating Australia's outback landscape, divided into two registers. The upper half of the field contains a semicircular holographic insert depicting Uluru and the Kata Tjuta formation bathed in warm golden and red hues beneath a luminescent sky, creating a vivid iridescent effect. The lower half of the field is rendered in sculpted frosted relief, portraying the rugged sandstone escarpments and outback terrain with a sparse tree and eroded rock formations in the foreground. The inscription 'YEAR OF THE OUTBACK' is incuse along the lower rim in capital letters. |
