Australia's polymer banknote program, developed jointly by the Reserve Bank and the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation through the 1980s, made the country the first in the world to issue a complete circulating polymer series. This $10 was part of that rollout. The substrate itself — biaxially oriented polypropylene — was a genuinely novel material for currency, and Note Printing Australia eventually licensed the technology to central banks across dozens of countries.
The clear window, rather than being a separate inserted element, is an inherent feature of the unprinted polymer base — a manufacturing distinction that matters when authenticating the note against later imitations from issuers who adopted similar but technically distinct window approaches.
