Australian $5 noteThe five dollar note features Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse side while the reverse side has a representation of Parliament house. Like all of our new polymer notes, it features anti-counterfeiting measures including clear windows of the polymer that makes up the note making it nearly impossible for colour photocopiers to replicate.

Queen Elizabeth II, Queen of Great Britain and Northern Ireland was born in 1926 in London, England. The daughter of King George VI, she served as a councillor of state while her father served in the armed forces during World War II. She married Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, in 1947 and a year later gave birth to a son Charles (the next heir to the English throne). In 1950 she gave birth to a daughter, Anne. She succeeded to the throne on the death of her father in February 1952. She gave birth to a second son, Andrew in 1960 and to a third son, Edward in 1964.
Her reign has seen vast changes experienced by her people and the country. Her primary role throughout this period has been that of symbol of unity within the Commonwealth of Nations. As monarch of Australia and it's head of state it was deemed appropriate that she feature on one of our notes. The note also features a drawing of 'wattle' to symbolise the fact that she is Australia's head of state.

On the reverse side of the five dollar note are drawings of the new and old parliament houses. This representation signifies a new beginning and a continuation of the old traditions. The old Parliament house was officially opened in 1927 but it became increasingly apparent (perhaps only to the politicians) that a new Parliament house was needed. The site chosen for the new Parliament House was Capital Hill which is somewhat ironic as the architect responsible for designing much of Canberra, Walter Burley Griffin, had suggested that a public building be built there. He suggested that by having a public building there, overshadowing Parliament House it would remind politicians of whom they truly served. He warned that unless a public building would be built there, the politicians would eventually have it for themselves. He was right.

The five cent coin depicts an echidna, or spiny ant-eater, one of only two egg-laying mammals. It grows to about 45 cm (17.7 inches) long and depends on its spines for protection. Echidnas live in most Australian habitats.

The 10 cent coin shows a male lyrebird dancing, its magnificent tail expanded and thrown forward over its head. A clever mimic, the lyrebird inhabits the dense, damp forests of Australia's eastern coast.

The reverse of the 20 cent piece presents the world's only other egg-laying mammal (or monotreme), the platypus. The Platypus is found on the banks of waterways on the east of the continent. It has webbed feet, rich, brown fur and uses its duck-like bill to hunt for food along the bottom of streams and rivers.

The standard 50 cent piece carries a representation of the Australian Coat of Arms which is the six state badges on a central shield supported by a kangaroo and an emu, with a background of Mitchell grass. The 50 cent piece is often minted with special designs for commemorative purposes. The 1994 coin, for example, carries a design which commemorates the International year of the Family. Other commemorative designs appeared on the 50 cent coin in 1970, '81, '82, '88 and '91.

The one dollar coin is also used to carry commemorative designs. Introduced in 1984, the standard coin depicts five kangaroos, one of Australia's most recognisable animals. Commemorative designs include the International Year of Peace in 1986, Australia's bicentenary in 1988, the 1992 Barcelona Games and, in 1993, Landcare Australia which raised awareness of water quality issues in Australia.

The two dollar coin shows an Aboriginal tribal elder set against a background of the Southern Cross and native grass trees. The design restores to Australian currency a recognition of Australia's Aboriginal heritage, a recognition which was temporarily absent when the one dollar coin replaced the one dollar note in 1984.

The one and two dollar coins are made of 92 per cent copper, six per cent aluminium and two per cent nickel. They feature interrupted milling along the edge as an aid for visually impaired people.
