| 裏面の説明 | Printed entirely in green, the reverse is composed of a dense, interlocking guilloche pattern arranged in an oval medallion at centre, surrounded by elaborate lathe-work rosettes and lace-like engine-turned borders that fill the entire field. A cartouche at the centre of the oval bears the redemption text in capital letters, set against a radiating starburst guilloche background. |

The "shinplaster" nickname — applied derisively to small-denomination fractional currency — had already attached itself to American Civil War-era scrip before Canadians inherited it for their own 25-cent issues. Canada's version arrived partly because of a practical shortage of small silver coin in circulation, and partly because Confederation had only just unified the currency system. The Dominion needed something to fill the gap before coinage production could catch up.
British American Bank Note Company handled the entire production in-country, which was notable for 1870 — much government printing of the period still went abroad. The 1870 issue is Pick 8, the first of several closely related 25-cent types that continued into the 1900s, each distinguished by minor design and signature variations that create genuine attribution headaches for collectors working from circulated examples.
