Australia 1967 Type I Five Dollar Specimen Note Coombs / Randall

Front: Sir Joseph Banks at right

Back: Caroline Chisolm at left

Period on Issue: 1967

Mintage: Unknown

Serials:


This is one of THE very first Australian $5 notes ever printed.

Specimen banknotes are of great interest to collectors for the following reasons:

●    They are excessively rare;

●    They are printed before the commercial print run for the general public; and

●    They were generally presented to a “very restricted list of prominent persons”.

To mark the introduction of Australia's new decimal currency notes in February 1966, the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) prepared a special album that included two examples of each of the new denominations, as well as information on their design and production.

The 5 dollar note was released a year and a month after that, so it is not included in many of the Type I sets of specimen notes that are available to collectors today.

This note remains in pristine condition - it is devoid of any creases, flicks or folds, and has an attractive sheen.

It remains as exclusive, rare and historic as it did when it was first issued in May of 1967.
