A lightly circulated example of the 1937 Bank of Canada Ten Dollar note, certified and graded Extra Fine 40 Original by Banknote Certification Service (BCS) with the coveted BCS Guarantee. Catalogue reference BC-24b, bearing the signatures of D. Gordon (Deputy Governor) and G.F. Towers (Governor), prefix L/D, serial number L/D1809539. No additional comments noted by BCS. The Original designation confirms the note retains its original paper quality and has not been cleaned, pressed, or altered.

Dated Ottawa, 2nd January, 1937, the obverse features a portrait of King George VI in military uniform at centre within an oval vignette, flanked by red serial numbers on a deep purple-black ground, printed by the British American Bank Note Company, Limited. The reverse displays one of the most dramatic designs in Canadian numismatic history — an allegorical male figure representing industry and commerce, standing amid a busy industrial harbour scene with ships, cranes, and factory smokestacks, rendered in rich dark tones. At EF-40 Original, this note presents with sharp detail, strong colour, and excellent originality — a premium example of the Gordon-Towers signature combination.
