Both notes carry raised tactile bumps so that people with impaired vision can tell them apart. The Reserve Bank of Australia announced in 2023 that the next 5 dollar note will no longer carry the monarch’s portrait, so this design is the last Australian 5 dollar note with Queen Elizabeth II. Both notes are signed by Philip Lowe, Governor of the Reserve Bank, and John A.
