| Obverse description | Uncrowned, bare-headed effigy of King George V facing left, with a short beard, depicted in high relief within the square flan. The peripheral legend GEORGE V D.G.BRITT.OMN:REX curves along the upper border, while the date 1919 appears prominently in the lower field, flanked by small decorative stops. The design is contained within a raised circular border set against a flat, square field with distinctly rounded corners characteristic of the kookaburra pattern series. |

| Obverse lettering | GEORGE V D.G.BRITT.OMN:REX 1919 (Translation: George V by the Grace of God, King of all the British territories) |
| Reverse description | Central device features a kookaburra in a slightly slimmer rendition than the Type 4 design, with a noticeably shorter beak, perched and facing. The bird is rendered in relief within the square field with rounded corners, consistent with the overall format of the pattern series. The legend AUSTRALIA ONE PENNY is distributed around the periphery, framing the central motif in a plain Latin script. This Type 5 variant is distinguished from earlier types by subtle but deliberate modifications to the kookaburra's proportions and beak length. |
