BC-26b 1937 Canada $50 Gordon-Towers, B/H, VF
The 1937 notes within the Bilingual Series were the first to include both French and English on a single note (English on the right-side and French on the left). This change occurred as it began to be too expensive to print separate notes and was featured on all denominations from the $1 to $1000 note.
In addition to this new Bilingual feature, the 1937 series was also the first time the Bank of Canada transitioned to the two-letter prefix, written as a fraction.
Specifications:
Face Design: His Majesty King George VI
Back Design: Modern Inventions allegory: a seated female with the symbols of radio broadcasting
Signatures: D. Gordon/G.F. Towers
Quantity Printed: 4,200,000
