The second Treasury seal, used for nearly all of these notes, is very similar in design to the original seal used for the first few thousand notes, the main difference being that the second seal has notably sharper detail.

In Series 1, some notes were printed without the ABN monogram, due to an apparent engraving error in two printing plates. The error seems to have been corrected by Series 2.

Similarly, between Series 199 and Series 219, some notes were printed with then-obsolete ABN credits. Several printing plates were apparently overlooked when modifications to remove the ABN credits were made, and these plates were eventually updated in two separate stages, with the removal of the ABN monogram occurring well after the change of the ABN imprint to NBN.
