Item Description
THE START OF QUEEN ELIZABETH 11 1954 BANKNOTE ISSUE
THE PROTRAIT OF THE QUEEN MOVED TO THE RIGHT HAND SIDE
OF THE NOTE WHERE IT WAS LESS SUSCEPTIBLE TO WEAR DUE TO FOLDING.
CANADIAN LANDSCAPES BECAME THE VIGNETTES
ON THE REVERSE OF ALL NOTES.
EARLY 1954 ISSUE NOTES HIGHLIGHTING AREAS OF THE QUEENS HAIR PRODUCED
THE ILLUSION OF A "LEERING DEMONIC FACE" BEHIND THE EAR.
THIS BECAME KNOWN AS THE "DEVIL'S FACE"
INSTANTLY CREATING A CONTROVERSY.
THE PORTRATE WAS MODIFIED ON FURTHER 1954 ISSUES REMOVING
THE SHADING WHICH HAD RESULTED IN THE DEVIL.
BOTH "THE DEVIL" AND MODIFIED PORTRAIT BECAME A SOUGHT AFTER
NUMISMATISTS COLLECTOR ITEM FOR THIS ISSUE.
