Introduced in 1966 at the commencement of decimal currency in Australia, the five-cent coin was struck in copper-nickel. This coin with the second Machin portrait of the Queen was replaced in 1985 with the third Raphael D. Maklouf's portrait.
There are varieties of the 1966 coins due to being minted at two different mints.

50,276,000 were minted at the Royal Mint in Llantrisant, Wales.
50,000,000 were minted at the Royal Canadian Mint in Ottawa.
