Queen Elizabeth II (1984)

Australia

One of Davina's Banknote collections

This informal portrait of The Queen appears on the 5-dollar note issued in Australia from July 1992. Her Majesty is shown wearing a simple dress, a string of pearls (that had come to Queen Victoria from her Hanoverian inheritance) and Queen Alexandra¡¦s Cluster Earrings. The 5-dollar banknote was designed by Mr. Bruce Stewart and the portrait of Her Majesty is based on a photograph by John Lawrence. The portrait was commissioned by the Reserve Bank of Australia in 1984 and The Queen gave her approval for the use of this portrait on an Australian note in 1988.
