Canadian One Dollar Bill (1973 'Scenes of Canada' Series)

This is a Canadian one-dollar banknote, likely from the 1973 'Scenes of Canada' series due to the visible portrait of Queen Elizabeth II and the 'BANK OF CANADA - BANQUE DU CANADA' inscription. The note features a predominant green and yellow color scheme, common for Canadian dollar bills of this era. On the obverse, there is a prominent portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on the right side, facing towards the right. To the left, the Canadian Coat of Arms is visible. The denomination 'ONE DOLLAR' and 'UN DOLLAR' are displayed centrally, along with 'CANADA' below. The serial number 'BFG5364074' is printed twice in red ink: once on the left and once on the right. 'THIS NOTE IS LEGAL TENDER' is printed below the central text in English and French. The note exhibits significant signs of wear, including multiple creases and folds, particularly a strong horizontal fold across the center. The paper appears soft and possibly faded in areas, indicating prolonged circulation. There are no obvious tears or major rips, but the overall condition suggests heavy use. The design is characteristic of Canadian currency during the latter half of the 20th century, emphasizing both national symbols and the monarch. The craftsmanship appears to be standard for mass-produced banknotes, focusing on security features and clear printing.
