A circulated example of the 1935A Bank of Canada One Dollar note — English text issue — certified and graded Very Fine 30 by Legacy Currency Grading (Cert #80974612). Catalogue reference BC-1, bearing the signatures of J.A.C. Osborne (Deputy Governor) and G.F. Towers (Governor), serial number A9354695, Plate C2/3. Legacy notes Minor Stains at Right as a comment.
The 1935A designation identifies a scarcer variety within the inaugural 1935 Bank of Canada series — the very first banknotes issued by the Bank of Canada following its establishment in 1934. The obverse features a distinguished portrait of King George V in military uniform within an oval vignette, flanked by red serial numbers on a rich dark green ground. The reverse displays a magnificent allegorical seated female figure — representing Agriculture and Industry — surrounded by the fruits of the harvest, rendered in deep green tones. Printed by the Canadian Bank Note Company, Limited. The English text issue is catalogued separately from the French text issue, making it a distinct collectible in its own right.
