Product Overview
Since the Bank of Canada stopped issuing the $1,000 denomination on May 11, 2000, Canada's highest denomination has become an increasingly desirable and elusive collectible in superb uncirculated condition. This two-piece set includes uncirculated examples of Canada's last two issues of $1,000 notes dated 1954 and 1988. The notes come protected in professional-quality archival display holders.
1954 $1,000
When these notes were first released in the mid-1950s, $1,000 would have had an equivalent purchasing power of over $9,000 today, and it is easy to understand why very few collectors had the ability to add these to a collection. The note was printed by Canadian Bank Note Company Ltd.
• Front design: Queen Elizabeth II (young effigy)
• Back design: covered bridge in the village of L'Anse-Saint-Jean, Quebec; in the background, the Saguenay River fjord
1988 $1,000
Canada's last $1,000 issue remains an impressive note today, especially when in fresh new condition. Once a symbol of commerce in a bustling economy, the denomination was criticized by politicians who claimed the note supported an underground economy and proceeds of crime.
• Front design: "1,000" on optical device, large "1,000" and Canada/Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II/north side of Centre Block of the Parliament Buildings showing the Library of Parliament/the Canadian flag flies above the Peace Tower
• Back design: pine grosbeak
Includes:
