Notes:

In 1991, Note Printing Australia released a 25th Anniversary Banknote Set which consisted of 8 notes including this final issue five pound note.

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.
