The 1923 25-cent Dominion note was the last fractional currency issue in Canadian history. Fractional notes had existed since 1870, filling the gap left by hoarded silver coinage, but by 1923 the practical justification had largely collapsed. The Dominion kept printing them anyway, and this series ran through three signature combinations spanning nearly two decades of bureaucratic turnover before the type was finally discontinued.
The Campbell-Clark variant (P#11c) is the scarcest of the three.
