Description from the seller
Canada - 100 Dollars 1954 "Devil's Face" - BC-35a - Pick 72a - PCGS About UNC 55
An excellent, highly collectible example of the famous 1954 Canadian $100 "Devil's Face" banknote. This sought-after variety features the first portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, where the shading in her hair behind the ear mistakenly forms the illusion of a grinning demon face—a design that was quickly modified and withdrawn shortly after its release.
This specific note has been professionally graded and encapsulated by PCGS Banknote, receiving a strong grade of About UNC 55 (About Uncirculated).
