Dritto: Crown with '1852' 'J PAYNE' sotto. Lettering around rim: 'GOVERNMENT ASSAY OFFICE' 'ADELAIDE'.
Retro: scritta 'VALUE FIVE POUNDS' center, and 'WEIGHT. 1Ooz: 8 DWT: 4 GRS:' '22 CARATS' around rim.
Nota: Restriked in 1921.
A pair of dies for a five pound piece was also prepared. It may never have been used in 1852 other than for test pieces, certainly no original strikings have survived. However in 1918 the dies for the five pound piece were lent to the Melbourne Mint and a few pieces were struck for museums and collectors.
