This is the second version of the standard Australian 5 Cent Echidna coin displaying the Raphael David Makleouf 3rd portrait of the Queen. Although initially minted in 1985 in the Year Proof and Uncirculated Sets it was not released into circulation until the 1987 issue.
A Fine Silver (.999) Proof version of this coin was released in the 1991 Masterpieces in Silver Set.
