This “consecutive
numbered” 1967 One Dollar QE II Bank of Canada - Centennial of Canadian
Confederation notes are a great addition to any serious paper money collector. In
honor of the 100th anniversary of Confederation, a modified version of the 1954
$1 note was issued, bearing the date 1967. The centennial logo was added to the
front of the note, and it has a black and white frame on a green background, decorated
with abstract forms in which the values "1" and "ONE / UN"
are presented. The portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, then-the new Queen of
England and the Commonwealth is on the right of the note. The 1967 centennial
special edition of the $1 bill does not feature a landscape. On the back is an
engraving of the original Parliament Buildings built in the 1860’s and
destroyed by fire in 1916. The same engraving previously appeared on a Dominion
of Canada $100 note not long after Confederation. Despite the intended Canadian
character of the series, this is the only one, not to feature any Canadian
personalities. However, the engraving of the young Queen Elizabeth II that
appears on each note was based on a photograph taken by the famous Canadian
photographer Yousuf Karsh; originally commissioned for a stamp. This is a great
addition to any collection of paper money from Canada and around the world.
