Two years after the 1935 Canadian Bank Note Series, the Bank of Canada printed its second series of bank notes. These notes were required to be produced as bilingual (English and French) because of altered Canadian government legislation. This series had the English writing on the left of the bills and the French writing on the right side of the bills.

Since King George V died on January 20, 1936 and Edward VIII resigned, most of the 1937 Canadian Bank Notes had the portrait of King George VI on the front of them. The only two bills that didn’t have King George VI on them were the 1937 $100 Canadian Bank Note, which had Sir John A. Macdonald on its obverse, and the 1937 $1000 Canadian Bank Note, which had Sir Wilfird Laurier’s portrait on its front.

The other changes to some of the bank notes are as followed:

The 1937 $2 Canadian Bank Note was now reddish brown color instead of blue and the reverse of the note had a picture of a harvest parable changed from the scene of transportation allegory on the 1935 bill.

The color of the 1937 $5 Canadian Bank Note was changed from orange to blue.

The harvest allegory on the back of the 1935 $10 Canadian Bank Note was changed to pictures symbolizing transportation on the reverse of the 1937 $10 Canadian Bank Note.

The meaningful images of agriculture were changed to pictures of fertility on the 1937 $20 Canadian Bank Note. The color of the bill was changed from rose red to olive green.

The only thing that was changed about the 1937 $50 Canadian Bank Note was its color from brown to orange.

The 1937 $100 Canadian Bank Note was made a lighter color of brown.

The 1937 $1000 Canadian Bank Note became a rose red color from its former dark green.
