The 1937 series was the Bank of Canada's second note issue, following the inaugural 1935 bilingual and French-only releases that had caused immediate political controversy — Quebec objected to the French series being visually distinct and arguably inferior to the English.

Coyne later became Governor himself, but here appears in the junior Deputy Governor position under Towers.
