The Australian one dollar note was introduced in 1966 to replace the 10 shilling note due to decimalisation.
Security Features
The paper design included a watermark of Captain James Cook in the white field; the watermark was also used in the last issue of pound banknotes. A metallic strip, first near the centre of the note, then from 1976 was moved to the left side on the obverse of the note.
