What is the value of an Australian Five Dollar note with Governor B. H. Fraser on the front?

Answer 1

B W Fraser was the Governor of the Reserve Bank of Australia from 1989 to 1996. Prior to him becoming Governor, he was Secretary to the Treasury from 1984 to 1989.

His signature appears on all Australian banknotes issued during this period in conjunction with various Secretaries to the Treasury including C.I. Higgins, A.S. Cole and E.A. Evans.

To get a reasonable valuation, please specify both signatories and the serial number of the banknote.

Answer 2

A Reserve Bank of Australia Five Dollar note featuring Sir Henry Parkes on the front was only issued in 2001 to commemorate the Centenary of Federation. These banknotes are still potentially in circulation, so they are worth Five Dollars.

A Reserve Bank of Australia Five Dollar note (MacFarlane/Evans)(serial AA01 to JD01) uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch anything from $18 up to $27 AUD.

A reputable coin dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation.
