The design on the back of five pound notes issued between 1913 and 1932 features a vignette of the Hawkesbury River near Peat's Ferry in New South Wales.




A distinctive feature of currency notes designed in the 1930's was the use of artwork by Frank Manley based on bas-relief panels originally designed by artist Paul Raphael Montford. These panels represented various sectors of the Australian economic life :
  • Manufacturing – Ten shilling note
  • Pastoral – One pound note
  • Commerce – Five pound note
  • Agriculture – Ten pound note
  • Mining – Fifty pound note
  • Dairying – One hundred pound note
Commerce


A mural celebrating the produce of Australia's Primary Industry surrounding a central motif of Aboriginal artefacts appears on the back.
