Gordon Andrews, best known for designing Australia's decimal currency notes in 1966, designed this stamp in 1972 for the 10th International Congress of Accountants held in Sydney. The congress brought together the global accounting profession at a moment when the abacus was giving way to the circuit board, and Andrews renders that transition with characteristic precision: luminescent green and burnt orange tracking the journey from counting beads to printed electronics. Like the banknotes that made his reputation, this stamp was printed by the Reserve Bank's Note Printing Branch in Melbourne.
