About the period

The Canadian Landscape series appeared on 9 September 1954: every denomination, from 1 to 1,000 dollars, carries a portrait of Elizabeth II based on a photograph by Yousuf Karsh, and the backs show landscapes of the country, from the Saskatchewan prairie and a Yukon waterfall to Okanagan Lake and the mountains of British Columbia.
