When decimal currency was introduced in New Zealand in 1967, the 5 cent coin was the third smallest denomination of the new coinage after the 1 and 2 cent coins.

The New Zealand 5 cent coin was a cupro-nickel coin weighing 2.83 grams and was 19.43mm in diameter. All New Zealand 5 cent coins featured Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse and, with the exception of a 1990 commemorative coin, featured a tuatara, a species of endangered native lizard, on the reverse.

Due to the relatively high cost of production and their minimal purchasing power, the 1 and 2 cent coins were withdrawn from circulation and demonetised in 1990. The 5 cent coin met the same fate for the same reasons in 2006.

All New Zealand 5 cent coins are no longer legal tender, but they are redeemable for face value at the Reserve Bank of New Zealand.
