| Reverse description | A finely detailed bust-length portrait of Albert Einstein faces slightly to the left, dominating the central field. His famous mass-energy equivalence formula e=mc² appears in script to the right of the portrait, evoking Einstein's own handwriting. The legend ALBERT EINSTEIN arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination 5 KINA is inscribed at the bottom. The fineness mark Au999 appears at the lower right, all within a dotted inner border. |

| Additional information |
This piece belongs to a wave of small-format gold issues Papua New Guinea released in the early 2010s under licensing arrangements that allowed sovereign mints to attach internationally recognized figures to local denominations — Einstein being among the most commercially reliable of such subjects. The Bank of Papua New Guinea had no historical or institutional connection to Einstein; the pairing is purely a product of the modern numismatic collectibles market.
