About this banknote
The Reserve Bank of Australia issued the one-dollar banknote in 1966, coinciding with the country's transition to decimal currency. This note replaced the ten-shilling note of the pre-decimal system. The 1972 issue, cataloged as Pick 37d, features the signatures of J.G. Phillips and F.H. Wheeler.
The obverse displays a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II in Garter robes, based on a photograph by Douglas Glass, alongside the Australian coat of arms. The reverse showcases Aboriginal artwork by David Malangi, depicting the mortuary feast of the ancestral hunter Gunmirringu. This design was used without the artist's initial knowledge but was later acknowledged and compensated.
