An exceptional 1954 Bank of Canada $1 Modified Portrait featuring one of the most desirable serial number combinations available—a Binary, Radar, and Rotator serial number—all on the same note. Professionally certified by PMG as Gem Uncirculated 65 EPQ with the coveted Exceptional Paper Quality (EPQ) ★ designation, this is a premium example for advanced collectors.
The serial number C/Y 0111110 is extraordinary:
- Binary: Uses only two digits (0 and 1).
- Radar: Reads the same forwards and backwards (0111110).
- Rotator: Appears the same when rotated 180 degrees due to the use of only 0s and 1s.
Finding all three desirable serial number characteristics on a single Canadian banknote is exceptionally uncommon, particularly in such a high grade.
Printed by the Canadian Bank Note Company (CBNC) and signed by Beattie–Rasminsky, this note is catalogued as BC-37b. PMG has also awarded the coveted EPQ★ designation, recognizing exceptional originality, superior paper quality, and outstanding eye appeal.
