Obverse of the Paper Note

Reverse of the Paper Note

The Australian five dollar banknote was issued one year after the currency was changed from the Australian pound to the Australian dollar on 14 February 1966. It was a new denomination, as the Pound system had no £2½, with a new mauve colouration. There have been four different issues of this denomination: a paper note which had a gradient of mauve, with a distinct black overprint. The polymer issue which can be recognised for its distinct mauve colouration, was first issued in pale mauve (1992), then from 1995 a purple colour. A federation commemorative was issued in 2001 for that year only.
