NEW BANK NOTES.
The value on the Union Bank of Australia, Ltd., notes of all denominations has up to the present been printed in the one colour. The bank has now issued new £1, £5, £10, £20, and also £50 notes, with the value printed in different colours as follows, thus making the difference in values more marked : —£l, pale cerise on pink ground ; £5, green on paler green ground ; £10, yellow ochre on light brown sienna ; £20, white on lavender ground ; £50, white on grey pink ground. In other respects the distinctive features of the design are maintained, most prominent being the figures of Britannia and the coronation portrait of the late Queen. The new notes of the different denominations also vary in size, the £1 issue being smaller than those formerly issued, the size increasing slightly for each denomination. The new £1 notes are already in circulation, and the larger denominations will be issued forthwith.
