Who is on the Australian Five Dollar note?

Australia puts famous or historically significant Australian identities on its banknotes. The original Australian paper Five Dollar note released between 1967 and 1991, had Sir Joseph Banks (Botanist) on the front, and Caroline Chisholm (Philanthropist) on the back. The first and still current polymer Five Dollar note released between 1992 and 1997, and from 2002 onwards, had Queen Elizabeth II on the front, and a design showing the new and old Parliament Houses in Canberra, ACT on the back. The second polymer Five Dollar note released as a Commemoration of Federation in 2001, had Sir Henry Parkes (politician) on the front, and Catherine Helen Spence (Writer and Suffragette) on the back.


Why was Caroline Chisholm taken off the Australian Five Dollar note?

Caroline Chisholm appeared on the reverse of the old paper Five Dollar notes from their introduction in 1967 until their withdrawal in 1992. When we got the new polymer notes, a new design was made for each type and all Australian banknotes got new faces on them. The new polymer Australian Five Dollar note first issued in 1992, has Queen Elizabeth II on the front and old and new Parliament houses on the reverse. The Centenary of Federation Five Dollar note issued only in 2001, featured Sir Henry Parkes on the front and Catherine Helen Spence on the reverse.
