| Comments |
The BC-56 series introduced a significantly redesigned multicolour printing approach for Canadian currency, moving away from the more restrained palette of the preceding Scenes of Canada issue. Three signature combinations exist across the series run — Lawson-Bouey, Crow-Bouey, and Thiessen-Crow — reflecting governor and deputy governor transitions through the late 1980s and into the early 1990s. The Lawson-Bouey pairing is the earliest and generally the least common of the three.
Yves Baril's engraving credit appears in the intaglio work, produced by the Canadian Bank Note Company at their Ottawa facility.
