G'day, over my lifetime, I have seen many portraits of H.M.
In my opinion -
The coinage heads are generally OK, within the limitations of the medium.
The prints of "official portraits" - photographs or paintings - that adorn many government offices in Oz, are generally very good.
Postage stamps have consistently presented H.M. particularly well.
But, banknotes, from various parts of the world, usually portray H.M. as a sour, severe, scowling, sort of sovereign. By way of enormous contrast, when one sees her making a speech, or giving interviews on TV, it is obvious that she is none of those things.
The 1964 Canadian portrait, above, is nearly as bad as the 1966 Oz $1. And our 1992 $5 is only a slight improvement.
There are a few good portraits on Notes, but they seem to be in the monority.

Hi, Peter, The note is not a 1964, it is a 1954 issue! And scoutjim99
by the pic it looks like it has a crease in the middle, and also quite rough on the top of the bill, I would grade it FINE at about 12.00 cnd.

I would agree with the grade. CCN trends shows a value of $8.00
