Australia does not have a "percent" note. Current circulating Australian banknotes are the Five, Ten, Twenty, Fifty and One Hundred Dollar notes.
Australia puts famous or historically significant Australian identities on its banknotes. The original paper Australian Ten Dollar note issued from 1966 to 1991, had Henry Lawson (1867-1922) on the back. Henry Lawson was a writer and a poet and is known as Australia's greatest writer.
The first Australian One Dollar note along with the Two, Ten and Twenty Dollar notes, were issued on the 14th of February, 1966, at Australia's conversion to decimal currency. The first Australian One Dollar coin was issued in 1984.
Henry Lawson never appeared on an Australian Ten Pound note, only on the Ten Dollar note issued from 1966 to 1993. Whose signatures are on the note and what is the serial number? Does it have "Commonwealth of Australia" across the top or just "Australia"?
There is no deeply significant answer. All Australian banknotes are of a different colour to aid with visual distinction between denominations. Five Dollar note is purple Ten Dollar note is blue Twenty Dollar note is red Fifty Dollar note is gold One Hundred Dollar note is green
Since 1993, all Australian Ten Dollar banknotes have been made from a polymer (plastic) compound. Any collector value would depend on the condition of the note, the serial number, the signatories and any unusual features of the note. Apart from that, they are worth 10 Dollars in Australia.
Have another look. The Queen is not on the Australian Ten Dollar note, only the polymer Five Dollar note issued since 1992. Prior to the issue of polymer notes, she appeared on the paper One Dollar note issued from 1966.
The original Australian paper Ten Dollar note (1966 to 1993) was 155 x 76 mm. The trial Australian polymer Bicentennial Ten Dollar note (1988 only) is 155 x 77.5 mm. The new Australian polymer Ten Dollar note (1993 to present) is 137 x 65 mm.
The Australian Ten Dollar note is not pink and green. They are mostly blue but have swirls of yellow and green as well.
