Honouring the Historic Reign of Queen Elizabeth II

On 9 September 2015, Queen Elizabeth II became the longest-reigning sovereign in Canada’s modern era. In recognition of this historic milestone, the Bank of Canada issued a commemorative bank note that is a variation of the existing $20 note in the Frontiers series.

As Canada’s head of state, Queen Elizabeth II figures prominently on Canada’s bank notes. Since the Bank of Canada issued its first series of notes in 1935, several portraits of Her Majesty throughout her life and long reign have appeared on Canada currency. This look back at her portrayal over the decades celebrates her long-standing relationship with the Bank and enduring ties to Canada.

2015 Bank of Canada $20 Commemorative Note

The commemorative note features a full-colour metallic portrait of the Queen in the large window. This is the first and only time she is shown wearing any type of crown on a Canadian bank note. It is accompanied by a depiction of her Royal Cypher, a garland of maple leaves and the inscription “A Historic Reign • Un règne historique.”

The portrait is based on a 1951 picture by renowned Canadian photographer Yousuf Karsh. It was taken within six months of the Queen’s accession to the throne, which makes it a compelling choice for commemorating her historic reign. The same photo, with her tiara removed, was previously used for the 1954 Canadian Landscapeseries as well as for a commemorative note in 1967 marking Canada’s centennial.

The Karsh photograph was originally commissioned for a Canadian postage stamp and then modified for use by the Bank of Canada.
