| Reverse description | The reverse reproduces the design of the official Australian $100 polymer note, with an intaglio portrait of Dame Nellie Melba at centre-right against a predominantly green and teal substrate overlaid with fine guilloche latticework. A vignette at left references her operatic career, incorporating a concert hall interior and a period theatrical poster. Large red Chinese characters (练功券 / 票样) overprint the right portion of the note, with the legend 练切专用 禁止流通 printed below, confirming the note's status as a non-negotiable teller training piece. |

| Comments |
The Reserve Bank of Australia has periodically produced polymer training notes for use by bank tellers and retail staff learning to handle and authenticate the circulating polymer series. These are not legal tender and were never intended for circulation — they exist purely as tactile training tools, giving handlers familiarity with the feel and security features of the genuine substrate without putting actual currency into the training environment.
Collector interest is largely curiosity-driven. Official distribution was controlled, and examples reaching the secondary market usually arrived through institutional disposal rather than any formal release.
