Canada Bank of Canada $5 1935 BC-5 Serial Number 8 PMG Choice Uncirculated 64 EPQ. Beautifully choice and original, this popular denomination features the Prince of Wales, who ascended the British Throne in January of 1936. His famous abdication occurred in December of the same year, which prevented his portrait from being added to banknotes during his reign. Fortunately, his portrait is featured on two Canadian issues during which time he was heir apparent. This note is in pack fresh original quality, but it is the very first pack of notes from which this example was saved. Serial number 8 is eminently collectible, and especially so on this banknote. Just three low digit examples are known extant, and this is the only in high grade. An important offering. From the Harry M. Eisenhauer Collection https://currency.ha.com/itm/world-currency/canada-bank-of-canada-5-1935-bc-5-serial-number-8-pmg-choice-uncirculated-64-epq/a/4021-28050.s?type=CoinArchivesCurrency4021 HID08706262019 © 2019 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved
