Where it came from
The 2021 Australian 5-cent coin featuring the echidna design was minted by the Royal Australian Mint as part of the standard circulating coinage series. It retains the classic design by Stuart Devlin, an acclaimed goldsmith and designer who served as the jeweler and silversmith to Queen Elizabeth II and was responsible for the original Australian decimal coinage motifs introduced in 1966.
This specific issue bears the sixth effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Jody Clark, which was first introduced on Australian coinage in 2019. The transition to Clark's portrait marked a significant update to the monarch's appearance on legal tender, balancing traditional regal representation with contemporary numismatic standards, and remains a staple of modern Australian currency.
