1935 $500 BC-17 Legacy Currency Grading Extra Fine-45 PPQ. Fully original, bright and problem free. Very attractive with great colours and great body. Excessively rare and desirable with only a handful of examples to exist. This is a perfect opportunity to obtain a rare Canadian high Denomination $500 issue. Not often seen and or offered! A lovely EF+ example. This was the only $500 note ever issued by the Bank. It features a portrait of Sir John A. Macdonald, the back of the note is an allegorical figure representing fertility. Rarely does such a high caliber of eye appeal intersect so perfectly with extreme rarity. The level of interest that this beautiful sought after banknote will generate is beyond imagination. This is only the third and best example we have ever offered in our auctions. An incredible opportunity to acquire another Canadian rarity. Charlton Standard Catalogue 32nd edition indicates $250,000 in EF-40 condition. Worth a premium bid.
