This one must have slipped by him ... or maybe there was a mix-up of pictures?

I almost spy a mintmark on it too, so perhaps the Aussies were minting 5 rubles with the British St. George and the Dragon reverse instead of the Russian St George and the dragon

Yes, he accidentally used the reverse photo from an 1899 British gold coin he is also selling.
