Description

BC-25b 1937 Canada $20 Gordon-Towers, H/E, VF-EF

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.
