Australia's 5 Shilling note had an unusually short effective lifespan as a circulating denomination — by the time this 1946 issue was printed, the note was already considered economically marginal, with coins handling most low-value transactions. The Commonwealth Bank's Note Printing Branch in Melbourne had been producing Australian currency domestically since 1920, ending the reliance on British printers that had defined the earlier series.
Pick 24A is the final type for this denomination. The 5 Shilling note was discontinued entirely when Australia decimalised in 1966, at which point it converted to 50 cents — a coin, not a note.
