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 issued a commemorative bank note that is a variation of the existing $20 note in the Polymer series.

As Canada’s head of state, Queen Elizabeth II figures prominently on our country’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 our currency.
