What is the value of an Australian Fifty Dollar note?

Answer 1

For a reasonable valuation on an Australian banknote, the two signatories and the serial number would need to be known.

Notes printed from 1967-1972 will have "COMMONWEALTH OF Australia" printed at the top, front and back.

Notes printed from 1974-1991 will have only "AUSTRALIA" printed at the top, front and back.

Notes printed from 1992 onwards are made of polymer instead of paper.

Notes printed from 1992-present will have Queen Elizabeth II on the front and a Parliament House design on the back.

Notes printed in 2000 only will have Sir Henry Parkes on the front and Catherine Helen Spence on the back.
