The 1935 Bank of Canada series was the first issued under the newly created central bank, which had opened for business just that February. Two parallel sets were printed simultaneously — one in English, one in French — making this among the few Canadian series where bilingual parity was achieved through duplication rather than a single bilingual face. The $100 English version carries Osborne's signature as Deputy Governor alongside Towers, who at 37 had just become the bank's founding Governor.
High-denomination notes from this series were recalled and destroyed in disproportionate numbers during the 1937 reissue cycle. Survivors at any grade are genuinely uncommon.
