1937 Bank of Canada $10 Banknote BC-24b Gordon-Towers BCS Fine 12

A heavily circulated example of the 1937 Bank of Canada Ten Dollar note, certified and graded Fine 12 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 C/D, serial number C/D1400499. BCS notes Stain as a comment.

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. The Gordon-Towers signature combination is a mid-series pairing of the popular 1937 ten dollar series.
