Five shilling note (Australian)
Five shilling notes were first proposed in 1916, when the value of silver was estimated to become too expensive to use for making coins due to a possible decrease in Australia's supply of silver. The proposed note was designed to have a portait of George VI, the King of the United Kingdom and Emperor of India, displayed on its front side.
