Comment

The Bank of Canada began operations 75 years ago, in 1935. With a mandate to regulate the country's money supply and "promote the economic and financial welfare of Canada", it was given the exclusive right to issue bank bills in Canada. On March 11, 1935, the Bank of Canada introduced its first series of banknotes.

The inaugural series of 1935 included denominations of $1, $2, $5, $10, $20, $50, $100, $500 and $1,000. (A $25 bill was issued later that year to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the coronation of King George V.) The front of the bills featured a portrait of a member of the Royal Family or a former Canadian Prime Minister. On the reverse were allegories symbolizing agriculture, industry and commerce in full expansion. Each denomination was offered in either French or English, a practice that ended in 1937, when bilingual bills were introduced. Automatically translated

La Banque du Canada commença ses activités il y a 75 ans, en 1935. Ayant pour mandat de réglementer la masse monétaire du pays et de « favoriser la prospérité économique et financière du Canada », elle disposa du droit exclusif d’émettre des billets de banque au Canada. Le 11 mars 1935, la Banque du Canada introduisit sa première série de billets.

La série inaugurale de 1935 comprenait des coupures de 1 $, 2 $, 5 $, 10 $, 20 $, 50 $, 100 $, 500 $ et de 1 000 $. (Un billet de 25 $ fut mis en circulation plus tard dans l’année pour commémorer le 25e anniversaire du couronnement du roi George V.) Au recto des billets figurait le portrait d’un membre de la famille royale ou d’un ancien premier ministre canadien. Au verso étaient représentées des allégories symbolisant l’agriculture, l’industrie et le commerce en pleine expansion. Chaque coupure était proposée soit en français, soit en anglais, une pratique qui prit fin en 1937, date à laquelle furent introduits les billets bilingues.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2010 $10 Canadian Silver Coin is that it has a unique reverse design that features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, created by Canadian artist Susanna Blunt. This design is different from the usual depiction of the Queen on Canadian coins, and it was specifically created for this coin to commemorate the Queen's visit to Canada in 2010.
