| Obverse description | Plain grey-toned paper training note with a light guilloche-style underprint across the face. A large bold denomination numeral '100' with a diagonal cancellation bar through the zero occupies the centre, with smaller matching numerals struck in the upper left and upper right corners. The legend 'FOR TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY' is set in spaced serif capitals along the lower margin, and a faint chevron watermark pattern is discernible in the left field. |

| Reverse description | Grey underprinted teller training reverse, largely unadorned, with a large cancelled denomination numeral '100' centrally placed and a matching smaller numeral in the upper left corner. A further small '100' with diagonal cancellation bar appears in the lower right corner, and the inscription 'FOR TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY' is printed in spaced serif capitals along the lower centre. The right third of the note is left as an unprinted cream field, consistent with standard teller-training note production practice. |

| Comments |
Teller training notes were produced by the Reserve Bank of Australia for use in staff instruction — functionally identical in size and general appearance to circulating issues but printed with clear overprints or other distinguishing marks to prevent any possibility of passing them as legal tender. They were never released to the public and exist outside the normal Pick numbering sequence entirely.
Surviving examples reached collectors almost exclusively through former bank employees. The RBA has never formally catalogued or acknowledged quantities produced.
