Comments
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.
Canberra: short spine on the right shoulder of the echidna (left photo)
London: larger spine on the right shoulder of the echidna (right photo)
