Is it the 1987 small echidna or are there others that top this coin.

Probably the 1987 high echidna by raw numbers. The 1972 and 1984 low echidna are scarce but not that rare.
In another thread someone said there is a 2022 low echidna which might be quite rare but not enough information yet. The other low echidnas (2008-2016) are generally easy enough to find in mint sets but I think the 2011 is quite scarce and is only found in baby sets.

I searched through 1000 x 2022 5 cent coins only found those 3 coins that were larger SD but looks like coin 1 is bigger out of those 3 coins.
