History

The signatures featured on the 2016 New Generation 5 dollar banknote are Glenn R. Stevens, Governor of the Reserve Bank of Australia, and John G. Fraser, Secretary to the Treasurer.

Interestingly the Governor Mr. Stevens held this position for just 18 days after the first issue of this note when his 10-year term as Governor ended.

This signature pair will not be issued on any future new generation banknote issues.
