context_page_description: The Australian fifty-dollar note is an Australian banknote with a face value of fifty Australian dollars. It is currently a polymer banknote, featuring portraits of David Unaipon and Edith Cowan.
context_section_description: On 4 October 1995 a polymer banknote was released.  The new note was designed by Brian Sadgrove.
  A portrait of Indigenous Australian author and inventor David Unaipon appears on the front, along with drawings from one of his inventions, and an extract from the original manuscript of his Legendary Tales of the Australian Aborigines. There is also a depiction of the Raukkan Church, a historical landmark in Raukkan, where Unaipon grew up. The couple standing in front of the church are Polly and Milerum. Milerum was the last initiated member of the local native tribe. He was highly respected and played a huge role in the recording of history of the native people of the Coorong. (See Australian produced series "Who do you think they are?" on Michael O'Loughlin.)
  On the back is a portrait of Edith Cowan, first female member of any Australian parliament, along with a picture of Western Australia's original Parliament House, and an illustration of a foster mother and children.
  In June 2017 there were 686 million $50 banknotes in circulation. Worth $34,309 million, this was 47% of the total value for all denominations.
