Best Answer

All Australian general circulation 5 cent coins are round, made from 75% copper and 25% nickel, which gives them a silver appearance. They weigh 2.83 grams and are 19.41 mm in diameter and have reeding around the edge.

There have only been three different designs to date. All coins have had the same reverse designed by Stuart Devlin, depicting an Echidna with a large 5.

The differences are on the obverse.

1966-1984 - Queen Elizabeth II (Second Portrait showing a young QEII)

1988-1998 - Queen Elizabeth II (Third Portrait showing QEII wearing a necklace)

1999-current - Queen Elizabeth II (Fourth Portrait showing a much older QEII)
