About this banknote
The Bank of Canada issued this polymer 50-dollar note in 2012 as part of its Frontier series. This series marked a significant shift to polymer substrate to enhance durability and security, replacing the previous paper-based notes. The introduction of polymer notes commenced in November 2011 to combat counterfeiting and extend the lifespan of banknotes.
The front side design features a portrait of William Lyon Mackenzie King, Canada's tenth Prime Minister. The reverse side illustrates the Canadian Coast Guard Ship Amundsen, a research icebreaker. The banknote, designated as Pick 109, includes advanced security features such as a transparent window and holographic elements, making it highly resistant to counterfeiting.
