Printed entirely in green, the reverse carries a wide panoramic vignette of a Canadian prairie landscape with flat fields, telegraph poles lining a road receding to the horizon, and an expansive dramatic sky with billowing clouds. The denomination ONE DOLLAR – UN DOLLAR appears at the top centre, with vertical inscriptions on both side margins, and the bilingual bank title BANK OF CANADA – BANQUE DU CANADA along the lower border. |

The 1954 series is best known for the "Devil's Face" controversy — in the original engraving, shadowing in the hair behind the Queen's ear was widely perceived to contain a demonic profile. The Bank of Canada modified the plate, softening the highlight, and later printings are catalogued separately as the "modified" type. The Beattie-Coyne signature combination spans both variants, so signature alone won't tell you which you have.
Beattie-Rasminsky notes reflect Coyne's 1961 resignation under political pressure from the Diefenbaker government — one of the few cases where a Canadian central bank governor was effectively forced out by Parliament.
