1937 Bank of Canada $1 BC-21c VF Banknote – King George VI

Offered here is a 1937 Bank of Canada $1 banknote, catalogued as BC-21c, in Very Fine (VF) condition. This historic piece features King George VI on the obverse, with a classic green tint and intricate guilloche patterns that reflect the sophisticated engraving style of the era. Issued during a time of global change, this note marks the early reign of King George VI following the abdication of Edward VIII.

The reverse displays an allegorical figure representing agriculture, a testament to Canada’s foundational industries during the 1930s. Printed by Canadian Bank Note Company, this series was the first bilingual issue, showing both English and French text—an important milestone in Canadian currency history.

Graded VF, this note retains solid paper integrity with moderate circulation signs: light folds, minor edge wear, and strong color presentation. The signature combination is Osborne-Towers, making it a desirable variety for collectors. A staple in any vintage Canadian currency collection, this 1937 $1 note is both a piece of history and a smart investment in numismatics.
