In 1901 the Commonwealth of Australia was established as a self-governing Dominion of the British Empire. Domestically the nation was in control of their own government, but their international affairs were controlled by the British Government. In 1942 Australia passed a law preventing Britian from making laws for the country, removing most of the constitutional links between the two nations. It wasn't until 1986 that Britian officially removed itself from the governance of Australia. This note was issued in 1939, shortly before removal of most British provisions in the country. It was also around the start of World War II, making it an interesting piece of history!
