Australia Snubs King Charles III!

Australia: “First Nation” People to be Honoured – UK Monarchy “Removed” from $5 Notes! (19.3.2025)

The RBA has revealed a design celebrating Indigenous people’s connections to country will replace the image of the monarch on Australia’s $5 note. 

The new note bearing the theme, selected from more than 2,100 public nominations, will be the first not to feature a monarch.

Before selecting the theme, the RBA engaged with First Nations organisations across the country to encourage submissions.

And the redesign panel included First Nations representatives, as well as those from the RBA and Note Printing Australia.
