Notes:

Not all serial numbers in the range shown above were used. Notes with prefixes of AH/44 to AH/49 and AH/61were not issued, nor were notes with serial numbers in the ranges AH/62 500001 to AH/62 1000000 and AH/65 000001 to AH/952000.

In 1991, Note Printing Australia released a 25th Anniversary Banknote Set which consisted of 8 notes including this final issue ten shilling note. Fine to Very Fine specimens were included in 1,000 Spirit of Discovery Bass & Flinders Commemorative sets issued at the ANDA Coin Show in Sydney during October, 1998.

Banknotes with a serial number of one million (1000000) command a significant premium. Banknote numbering machines had only six printing wheels. When the seventh digit was required to complete each series, the serial number was printed on a hand press. The practice was continued with decimalisation until 1971.
