Catalogue reference BC-37b-i, bearing the signatures of J.R. Beattie (Deputy Governor) and L. Rasminsky (Governor), serial number AF0729012, Plate 130/149. Legacy notes Cutting Error as the error type.

A cutting error occurs when the sheet of printed notes is cut incorrectly during the finishing process, resulting in a note that is miscut — shifted off-centre so that one or more borders are wider than intended while the opposite borders are narrower or missing entirely. On this example, the dramatic miscut is clearly visible, with the note shifted significantly from its intended position within the sheet. At Choice About New 58PPQ with Premium Paper Quality, this is a near-uncirculated example with outstanding paper quality — exceptional for an error note. The obverse features the modified portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by artist Yousuf Karsh, flanked by red serial numbers on a rich green ground. The reverse displays the beloved Prairie landscape featuring a vast Saskatchewan grain field beneath a dramatic stormy sky with billowing cumulus clouds, rendered in rich green tones — one of the most iconic reverse designs of the 1954 series. Printed by the British American Bank Note Company, Limited.
