1 Dollar - Elizabeth II 4th Portrait - Figures of Note - Greenway and Lawson

This piece belongs to the "Figures of Note" series, which Perth Mint released to mark the centenary of Australian banknotes — specifically the 1913 introduction of the first Commonwealth of Australia notes. Francis Greenway, a convicted forger transported to New South Wales, became the colony's first civil architect under Macquarie and later appeared on the Australian ten-dollar note. The pairing with William Lawson, explorer of the Blue Mountains crossing in 1813, is an odd coupling that reflects the original banknote lineup rather than any thematic logic of the Mint's own devising.
