About this banknote
The Reserve Bank of Australia issued the 5-dollar polymer banknote (Pick 51c) in 1997, continuing the series introduced in 1995. This series featured enhanced security features and a more distinct mauve coloration to address public concerns about the similarity between the 5-dollar and 10-dollar notes.
The obverse of the banknote displays a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, accompanied by eucalyptus leaves. The reverse features images of both the old and new Parliament Houses in Canberra. This note measures 130 x 65 mm and is printed on polymer substrate by Note Printing Australia Ltd.
