| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse is dominated by a large central vignette of a short-beaked echidna (Tachyglossus aculeatus) rendered in fine detail against a muted green and grey underprint suggestive of natural habitat. To the left, the denomination numeral '6' and the text 'SIX AUSSIES' appear in bold lettering over a guilloche underprint in light blue tones, accompanied by a small stylized lizard vignette in gold. The vertical inscription 'AUSTRALIA' runs along the right margin, with the Latin scientific name 'Tachyglossus aculeatus' printed vertically beside it, and 'SHORT-BEAKED ECHIDNA' inscribed across the upper left. |

The short-beaked echidna has appeared on Australian currency for decades — most famously on the 5-cent coin — but its elevation to the five-dollar note is part of a broader redesign program that removed the Queen's portrait from the series following the transition to a republic-ready coinage and note framework. Australia's five-dollar note had carried Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse since decimal introduction in 1966; her death in September 2022 accelerated decisions that were already in motion.
Polymer had been the standard for Australian notes since 1988, making this paper-composition issue a deliberate anomaly worth noting in any catalog record.
