Description

The 2015 $5 Coloured Frosted Uncirculated Coin- Distinctly Australian shines with national pride. It is an icon of 'home'.

Everything about Australia is rich with variety, its landscape, wildlife, cities, towns and people. While much that defines Australia is elusive; its geography, fauna and flora, social and political institutions have come to symbolise its national identity and evolve with it. This fabulous coin design brings together familiar Australian icons that everyone will cherish, regardless of who they are or where they live.

The coin captures the essence and spirit of Australia through its meticulously crafted and beautifully presented design, featuring some of Australia's beloved icons including 'Banjo' Paterson, Sir Douglas Mawson, Ned Kelly, Sir Charles Kingsford Smith, Nancy Bird-Walton, a gold miner and Armott's Biscuits.

  • The sculpted elements featured on the reverse include bounding kangaroos, the Sydney Harbour Bridge, the Sydney Opera House, a QANTAS plane and Dorothea Mackellar's 'I love a sunburnt country.
  • Printed elements include Ned Kelly, the Australian flag, a surf lifesaver, the Ghan, a boomerang and a didgeridoo.
  • Obverse features Australia's national flower, the golden wattle, a kookaburra and a frilled-neck lizard as well as the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by lan Rank-Broadley.
  • Australian legal tender.
