Year: 1923

Grade / Condition: Choice UNC63 (CCCS Grading)

A highly collectible Dominion of Canada 25 Cents note, commonly known as a "Shinplaster," issued in 1923. These small-denomination notes were introduced to supplement the coin supply and became one of the most iconic and widely recognized issues in Canadian paper money history. The 1923 issue was the final Dominion 25 Cents series before the Bank of Canada assumed responsibility for issuing banknotes in 1935.

In 1923, 25 Cents represented useful everyday purchasing power—equivalent to roughly one to two hours' wages for many workers. It was enough to purchase a hearty meal, several loaves of bread, public transportation fares, or other common daily necessities, making it a familiar note in everyday Canadian commerce.

Certified Choice UNC63 by CCCS Grading, this note remains uncirculated with crisp paper, strong detail, and attractive eye appeal. Its excellent preservation, combined with its popularity as the famous Canadian Shinplaster, makes it a desirable example for both beginning and advanced collectors.

An attractive and historically significant banknote, ideal for collectors of Canadian numismatics, Dominion of Canada issues, Shinplaster notes, and world paper money.
