Comments

The security features of the note are described in the RBA flyer:

 

New $50 Banknote Security Feature Flyer

 

Issued by the Reserve Bank of Australia as part of the Next Generation Banknote series, and was issued into general circulation on October 18, 2018. A typographical error, the last ‘i’ in "responsibility" being missing and spelled instead as "responsibilty", was discovered on earlier print runs of the banknote in May 2019, affecting 46 million banknotes. The Reserve Bank confirmed it was aware of the error since December 2018, and will correct the spelling in later print runs.

 

This is where the two spelling mistakes are on the reverse of a 2018 note:

 



Note: Date given by first two numerals in serial number.

Serial Numbers for 2020 are as follows:
R527 - AA 20 – EA 20 0000001 5361359 Lowe/Gaetjens
R528 - AA 20 – EA 20 5361360 6820290 Lowe/Kennedy
This information comes from the Reserve Bank of Australia's website.
https://banknotes.rba.gov.au/resources/for-collectors/serial-numbers/

 

Tactile mark, four dots along both long edges

 

Note: Need to check if 2020 Lowe, Kennedy R528 becomes R528a

as 2021 Lowe, Kennedy should be R528b if Renniks numbering stays consistent.
