Description from the seller
Rare Collection of 5 Vintage 1954 Bank of Canada Banknotes - All are Rare "Devil's Face" Variety
An incredible opportunity for serious numismatists to acquire a complete five-note lot of the highly coveted 1954 "Devil's Face" variety. This scarce early printing features the accidental and famous "devil's face" illusion in the curls of Queen Elizabeth II's hair, a design that was quickly modified by the Bank of Canada in 1956
This specific lot showcases both of the historic signature combinations produced during this brief, controversial print run.
