The paper $100 note ran alongside the polymer replacement for several years after the polymer series launched in 1996, a deliberate overlap intended to smooth public transition. Gordon Andrews designed the entire first decimal paper series in one commission — an unusual arrangement that gave Australian notes a visual coherence rare among Commonwealth currencies of the period.
The Stone & Johnston signature combination dates this specific issue to the earliest part of the run, when John Stone was Secretary to the Treasury. Four distinct signature pairs across the series reflect the note's twelve-year lifespan — longer than most paper issues survive before polymer conversion.
