| Reverse description | A highly detailed, naturalistic depiction of a Short-beaked Echidna (Spiny Anteater, Tachyglossus aculeatus) fills the central field, shown in three-quarter view facing left with its elongated snout lowered toward the ground and its distinctive spines rendered in exceptional high relief. Two black diamond insets serve as the animal's eyes, adding a striking contrast against the antiqued silver surface. The creature's clawed forefeet and textured forest-floor habitat of rocks, roots, and foliage are meticulously engraved in the background. The denomination '5 Kina' appears in the lower left field, and the species designation 'SPINY ANTEATER' arcs along the lower rim. |
