Obverse description	Printed in brown on white paper, the obverse centres on an oval intaglio portrait vignette of King George V in military uniform, flanked by two-line text panels stating the legal tender clause. The heading COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA arches across the top with denomination numerals £100 at upper left and upper right corners, while the lower margin carries the legend ONE HUNDRED POUNDS in bold letterpress. Two CANCELLED overprints appear symmetrically to the left and right of the portrait, and the Commonwealth of Australia coat of arms is positioned at lower right; a blank oval serial number panel occupies the lower left.
