2 Dollars

Gordon Andrews was a Sydney-based graphic designer with no prior banknote experience when the Reserve Bank commissioned him to redesign Australia's entire decimal currency series in the 1960s — an unusual choice that produced an unusually coherent set. The 2 Dollar note was part of that original decimal family, though this particular issue spans the signature combinations of multiple Governor and Deputy Governor pairings across more than a decade of production.

The Knight & Wheeler variants show two distinct serial number typefaces — one comparatively upright and plain, the other OCR-style — as well as a shift in security thread placement from center to side. These are among the more granular distinctions collectors track within P#43.
