Sydney's early architect Francis Greenway, along with Henry Lawson, one of Australia's best-known poets and short story writers, were featured on the $10 note, which is part of Australia's remarkable currency collection. During this period, Australian banknotes underwent significant transformation. In 1988, Harry Williamson was selected to lead a design team with the theme of 'settlement', marking a pivotal moment in the evolution of these banknotes. Notably, it became the first banknote in the world to be printed on a non-fibrous polymer substrate, enhancing its durability and fair market value.
