| Comments |
This is not legal tender and was never issued by the Bank of Canada in any official capacity. Items of this type — gold foil novelties reproducing Canadian banknote designs — are privately manufactured collectibles, typically produced in Asia and marketed through discount gift channels. The Bank of Canada has not authorized any 24kt gold foil note series, and no such composition appears in any official issue recorded under the Bank of Canada Act.
Catalog value as a monetary artifact is nil. Interest, if any, is purely as ephemera.
