| Obverse description | The obverse reproduces the design of the official Australian $100 polymer note, centred on an intaglio portrait of Sir John Monash with his name inscribed below, set against a multicolour guilloche underprint in green, orange, and yellow tones. Secondary vignettes include a horse-drawn artillery scene at right and a stylised bird motif at lower left. Large red Chinese characters (练功券 / 票样) are overprinted diagonally at left, with a further legend 功切专用 禁止流通 below, identifying this as a non-negotiable bank teller training piece. |

| Comments |
The Reserve Bank of Australia has periodically produced polymer training notes for use by bank tellers and retail staff learning to handle and authenticate the circulating polymer series. These are not legal tender and were never intended for circulation — they exist purely as tactile training tools, giving handlers familiarity with the feel and security features of the genuine substrate without putting actual currency into the training environment.
Collector interest is largely curiosity-driven. Official distribution was controlled, and examples reaching the secondary market usually arrived through institutional disposal rather than any formal release.
