About this banknote
The Reserve Bank of Australia issued the 5-dollar polymer banknote (Pick 51a) in 1995, featuring the signatures of Governor B.W. Fraser and Secretary to the Treasury E.A. Evans. This release introduced a deeper mauve color and a revised numeral font to address public concerns about the previous design's similarity to the 10-dollar note.
The obverse displays a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II at the center right, accompanied by eucalyptus leaves. The reverse features images of both the old and new Parliament Houses in Canberra. This banknote measures 130 x 65 mm and is printed on polymer substrate by Note Printing Australia (NPA).
