About this banknote
The Reserve Bank of Australia issued the one-dollar banknote in 1983, featuring the signatures of R. A. Johnston and J. Stone. This series was part of the decimal currency system introduced in 1966, replacing the ten-shilling note. The one-dollar note remained in circulation until it was replaced by the one-dollar coin on 14 May 1984.
The obverse of the banknote displays a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, based on a photograph by Douglas Glass, alongside the Australian coat of arms. The reverse features Aboriginal artwork by David Malangi, depicting the "mortuary feast" of Gunmirringu, a creation ancestor. The note measures 140 x 70 mm and includes a watermark of Captain James Cook.
