A scarce 1935 Bank of Canada 20 Dollar note from the inaugural series issued by the Bank of Canada. This Large Seal variety is highly sought after by collectors due to its limited production and its place among the earliest official Canadian banknotes. The iconic "Princess Note" design features the portrait of Princess Elizabeth, who would later become Queen Elizabeth II, making it one of Canada's most historically significant banknotes.

Issued during the depths of the Great Depression, 20 Dollars represented a considerable amount of money—enough to cover several weeks of groceries for a family, a month's rent in many parts of Canada, or a substantial portion of a worker's monthly wages.

This example retains attractive originality and eye appeal, making it a desirable addition to collections of early Bank of Canada issues. The Small Seal variety, combined with the famous Princess portrait, makes it one of the most collectible notes of the 1935 series.

An attractive and historically significant banknote, ideal for collectors of Canadian numismatics, Bank of Canada issues, Princess Notes, and world paper money.
