Comments

Varieties :
Hyndman/Saunders : The words "Authorized by R.S.C.Cap.31" may appear on some of these notes, even though the Department of Finance had made a decision not to circulate them. You can find this inscription on the obverse side of the banknote between the big "25" and the bottom left signature.
