The note showcases Queen Mary on the front left side in an oval portrait wearing the elegant crown jewels. On the front right is the first seal of the Bank of Canada with the quintessential Canadian symbol of the maple leaf. On the reverse is a wonderful vignette paying homage to Canada's transportation networks. There's a winged helmeted Mercury standing in front of a world globe. Surrounding the figure are ships, trains, and an airplane. This note has a mintage of approximately 28,000,000. Just over 5,000,000 are in French and harder to collect.

This Fine English commemorative banknote for the Silver Jubilee of King George V and Queen Mary dressed in full royal regalia. The reverse of this note does not feature alleghorical tributes to Canada's progress like the rest of the series. Rather it highlights Windsor Castle in England. It is appropriate for this commemorative banknote because George V created the House of Windsor title for his royal family when he made his family relinquish their German and foreign titles.

According to the Bank of Canada Museum, “ The 1935 $50 note, which was printed by Canadian Bank Note Company Ltd., features a portrait of Prince Albert, Duke of York, second son of King George V and Queen Mary. After the abdication of his brother, Prince Albert became King George VI. The portrait of the prince wearing an admiral’s uniform was engraved by Robert Savage of American Bank Note Company from a photograph by Bertram Park. The vignette on the back of the note is an allegorical figure representing modern inventions.” The radio microphone features prominently as a new invention on this note.

This is the elusive pride of my collection with very few survivors. This $100 note is a VF25. I think it could be a 35 because it's a vety clear & clean example. The annotation on the front of the note is most likely a bankers counter number. It's a 7. Banks used to mark the their notes when they counted them. This doesn't detract from this fabulous note. Can you imagine how few people have ever seen or held a note in this denomination? You could buy a house in many parts of the country in 1935 for less than $100. The back of this note has allegorical figures and items to represent the transportation industry in Canada.
