Commemorative banknotes of the Canadian dollar

 * ... that the royal purple 1935 commemorative banknote (pictured) for the silver jubilee of George V is the only $25 banknote ever issued by the Bank of Canada? Source: The Art and Design of Canadian Bank Notes, pg 33 ("This was the only $25 note ever issued by the Bank ofCanada." and "This special royal purple $25 note was issued on 6 May 1935 to commemorate the silver jubilee of King George V".)
 * ALT1: ... that the $20 commemorative banknote issued in 2015 is the only banknote issued by the Bank of Canada to depict Queen Elizabeth II wearing a tiara (crown)?

 * ALT2: ... that the 1967 and 2015 Canadian commemorative banknotes feature the same portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, one wearing a tiara and one without? Source:Bank of Canada honours the reign of Queen Elizabeth II ("...including a portrait of Her Majesty wearing a crown (tiara) for the first time on a Canadian bank note" and "The portrait is based on a 1951 image by renowned Canadian photographer Yousuf Karsh – the same photograph that inspired the portrait engraving of the Queen, without the crownrait of Her Majesty wearing a crown (tiara) for the first time on a Canadian bank note")

 * I prefer the original hook. Here's my review.


 * The 1967 and 2015 banknotes are under Crown Copyright, so only the 1935 banknote (PD in Canada) would be a suitable DYK image. The image is probably only suitable for the original hook. (Note: I'll also try to upload a pic of the Centennial $1 banknote for the article before this gets promoted.) Mind  matrix  22:00, 16 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I've uploaded pics of the Centennial banknotes. They are under Crown Copyright until the end of 2017, so are subject to fair dealing and cannot appear on the front page. Mind  matrix  02:45, 19 January 2017 (UTC)

- Length, Date, Cite, QPQ, and Earwigs all checkout for original hook and Alt 3. The image for the first hook is also unencumbered by copyright due to its age. Original hook (image hook) and Alt 3 (non-image) approved. Mifter Public (talk) 20:43, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
