A distinctive feature of currency notes designed in the 1930’s was the use of artwork by Frank Manley based on bas-relief panels originally designed by artist Paul Raphael Montford. These panels represented various sectors of the Australian economic life :

• • • • Manufacturing – Ten shilling note
      • Pastoral – One pound note
      • Commerce – Five pound note
      • Agriculture – Ten pound note
      • Mining – Fifty pound note
      • Dairying – One hundred pound note

    

• Portraits
  A mural celebrating the produce of Australia’s Primary Industry surrounding a central motif of Aboriginal artifacts appears on the back.
