| 背面描述 | Dark olive-brown intaglio print on a fine guilloche underprint. The central vignette, rendered in a classical allegorical style, depicts two figures — a seated male figure and a youth — engaged in study or commerce, with an industrial harbour scene visible in the background. The denomination 100 appears in ornate numerals at each corner, and the issuer title BANQUE DU CANADA is inscribed in a curved cartouche at the top, with CENT DOLLARS across the lower panel. |

The 1935 Bank of Canada series was the country's first issue as a central bank, established just that year after the Bank of Canada Act passed in 1934. Political pressure during the Depression had made a central bank unavoidable — years of competing chartered bank issues, varying quality, and public distrust of private money had worn out the argument against one.
P#53 is the English-language version; a French parallel exists as P#54, the two issues distinguished by their language of text rather than any change in plate design. Osborne served as the Bank's first Deputy Governor, Towers as its first Governor — both signatures appearing on this note carry that inaugural weight.
Known to attract fakes; authentication against the watermark is essential on any high-denomination 1935 example.
