Best Answer

Australia puts famous or historically significant Australian identities on its banknotes.

The original paper Fifty Dollar note released between 1973 and 1993, had Lord Howard Walter Florey (Pathologist who developed penicillin) on the front, and Sir Ian Clunies Ross (Veterinary scientist and Chairman of CSIRO) on the back. They were progressively withdrawn from circulation in favour of the polymer notes from 1995.

The new polymer Fifty Dollar note released from 1995 onwards, has David Unaipon (Aboriginal inventor, preacher & author) on the front, and Dame Edith Cowan (Social worker, politician & feminist) on the back.
