| Obverse description | The left portion carries a portrait vignette of David Unaipon (1872–1967), Ngarrindjeri preacher, inventor, and Australia's first published Aboriginal author, rendered against a yellow-gold guilloche underprint. Microprinted text along the lower field reproduces a passage from Unaipon's own writings affirming his identity as a full-blooded member of his people and his resolve to preserve Indigenous customs and beliefs. The denomination FIFTY DOLLARS and the issuing authority AUSTRALIA are applied in intaglio lettering over an intricate guilloche background. |
